Left-hander Ryan Yarbrough excelled in May as a starter for the Yankees, achieving a season-high six innings pitched, allowing one run on two hits, and striking out seven in a 5-1 victory against the Los Angeles Angels. Since joining the rotation, Yarbrough has recorded a 2-0 record with a 3.06 ERA over 12 games, proving invaluable amid injuries to key players. Anthony Volpe contributed a bases-clearing double, while the Yankees extended their winning streak to three games, leading the American League East by 5.5 games.
