BROOKS KRISKE NEWS

Lit up in relief outing Kriske allowed five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over one inning against Toronto on Monday.

Impact The right-hander entered in the ninth inning with the Yankees trailing by three, and by the time he retired three batters, Toronto had turned the contest into an 8-0 rout. Kriske opened the frame by serving up a homer to Teoscar Hernandez, then walked three of the next five batters before Marcus Semien belted a grand slam. With the disastrous outing, Kriske's ERA ballooned to 15.26 across 7.2 innings this season. He's been up and down between the minors and the big club throughout the campaign.
