Another move that backfired on the Yankees

The Yankees dropped Cody Morris to free up a roster spot for reliever Michael Tonkin, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets earlier Thursday.

Clay Holmes breezed through three batters in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night on 10 pitches.

But when the game got to the bottom of the 10th with the Yankees leading by one run, manager Aaron Boone went to new reliever Michael Tonkin — one of the last two arms he had available out of the bullpen — instead of asking Holmes to pitch a second inning.
