Two nights after pounding Red Sox standout Chris Sale at Fenway, the Yankees had no answer for Taylor Clarke . Let's pause for a moment, had you ever heard of him before Tuesday? In just the 12th start of his major league career, the unheralded rookie neutralized a Yankee lineup that featured Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Edwin Encarnacion and Didi Gregorius. Made 'em look helpless on the big stage in the Bronx. There's a timeless line about there being no such thing as momentum in baseball -- momentum is the name of the next day's pitcher. Well, say hello to "Mo" Clarke.
