Won and Done
In modern day baseball with 13-man pitching staffs, "openers" and multiple relievers day-in-day-out, rosters are constantly shuffled. So, it was no surprise that some of the pitchers who worked during the Yankees Monday doubleheader with the Orioles would find themselves elsewhere a day or so later.
That was the case with Joe Mantiply: hello, goodbye and don't bother to rent anything more than a hotel room. The second of the pitching parade in Monday's nightcap, he went three innings, gave up three runs -- and, since the stater/opener Chad Green worked just over an inning, Mantiply wound up credited with the win -- just before getting a pink slip. Tuesday, the Yankees designated him for assignment.
One game; one win; a brief but meaningful memory of being a Yankee.
