Although the Yankees have drawn much attention for their strong bullpen at the beginning of the season and for the number of home runs they hit game after game, much of the team’s success in 2018 has been largely dependent on the quality of outings it receives from its starting pitching.

After the game, Cessa was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with the Yankees expected to recall right-hander Tommy Kahnle.
