David Robertson picked up his seventh save of the season with 1 1/3 scoreless innings against the Mets on Thursday.
The Yankees were in a bit of a pickle, as the Mets had the tying run on third base with two outs in the eighth inning, so they called on Robertson to squelch the threat. He did, inducing David Wright to ground out. The ninth inning was easy as pie for him, getting consecutive strikeouts of Chris Young and Lucas Duda to end the ballgame. Robertson, the successor to Mariano Rivera, has done well when he has been healthy, converting all seven of his save chances while posting a 1.74 ERA with a 12/2 K/BB ratio in 11 1/3 innings.
