Heroes, outs from Yankees’ Game 4 win: Bullpen puts in heroic effort

Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch of the Yankees’ 11-4 victory over the Dodgers Tuesday night in The Bronx:

Hero

Staring at another night of potentially missed opportunities, the Yankees finally got the huge blow they were looking for with Anthony Volpe’s grand slam in the third inning.

He also scored three points.

Zero

Daniel Hudson gave up the grand slam to Volpe, as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts opted to stay away from most of his power arms in the bullpen game.

Unsung hero

Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver did the heavy lifting, but Tim Hill and Mark Leiter Jr. each got two big outs with the game on the line as they continued their solid postseasons.
