Since Rivera has not worked since the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday afternoon, it was time to get him some work.
Mo entered in the ninth with the Yankees comfortably ahead by a score of 7-1. He faced Alex Gordon to start the inning and threw a devastating cutter which broke his bat as he weakly grounded to first for the first out of the inning. He retired two of the next three batters with pinch hitter Jason Smith reaching on a bloop single over short.
Mo is 2-3 on the season with 15 saves in 17 save opportunities and his ERA now stands at 3.02.
