NEW YORK (AP) -Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon acknowledged that Joba Chamberlain’s transition from reliever to starter has created some short-term challenges for New York.
“It’s going to help out our team in the long run,” Damon said before Thursday’s win over the Toronto Blue Jays. “In the short run, we’re going to have to find a way to get the ball to Mariano.”
Chamberlain was dominant in setting up closer Mariano Rivera.
“Probably the best in the game,” Damon said.
“We could have used him on our last road trip,” he added. “There’s no doubt about it. Could we have won those games? Maybe, maybe not.”
