Against the best offense in baseball, the Yankees asked their bullpen for 15 outs. On a night the Los Angeles bullpen was dented, Tim Hill, Clay Holmes, Mark Leiter Jr., Luke Weaver and Tim Mayza were the Yankees’ biggest advantage in the 11-4, survival-turned-blowout in Game 4 in The Bronx on Tuesday.

Some drama and surely some exhaustion followed, but those 15 outs were recorded.
On a night the Los Angeles bullpen was dented, Tim Hill, Clay Holmes, Mark Leiter Jr., Luke Weaver and Tim Mayza were the Yankees’ biggest advantage in the 11-4, survival-turned-blowout in Game 4 in The Bronx on Tuesday.
The quintet combined to allow just one hit and one walk in five scoreless innings in which they struck out seven, finally taming a Dodgers offense that did damage against Luis Gil (four innings, four runs) Tuesday and plenty of Yankees pitchers in the first three games.
