Yankees Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Dustin Moseley rewarded manager Joe Girardi for his decision to start him Thursday night against the Indians, providing the Yankees with a little less urgency to add a pitcher before Saturday's trade deadline.

Moseley allowed one run on four hits and two walks over six innings, picking up the win in his first start since April 17, 2009, with the Angels. After the game, Girardi—who opted to give Moseley the ball after Sergio Mitre got knocked around in a start last weekend—said Moseley would start again Tuesday in New York against the Blue Jays.

"I'm excited," Moseley said. "I think I can do this job. Whatever they ask me to do, I'm more than willing to do it."

Moseley struggled in the first inning, needing 31 pitches to get through the frame.

A-Rod has three RBIs, but no No. 600 in Yanks win (AP)

Dustin Moseley (1-0) won his first start, allowing a run and four hits over six innings as New York took three of four in a series that saw A-Rod's...

Cano has 3-run double in Yanks’ win over Royals (AP)

A.J. Burnett stood smiling in front of his locker Friday night, allowing himself the luxury of imaging what could have been if a wicked thunderstorm hadn't curtailed his fine outing. That's the Burnett the Yankees hope to see on a more consistent basis. The tempestuous right-hander bounced back from a horrible start cut short by a self-inflicted injury to pitch five scoreless innings,...
