Kahnle pitched a scoreless inning in Monday's win over the Royals, striking out two and walking one.

Kahnle has now tossed 13 consecutive scoreless outings after going through a bit of a rough patch toward the end of August. While he's earned the opportunity to be deployed in high-leverage situations, the back end of the Yankees' bullpen is simply too deep to allow Kahnle to see any save chances.
