Matt DeSalvo allowed two runs -- one earned -- in 5 1/3 innings to win Saturday in his first start since being demoted to Double-A.
DeSalvo, 25, was 1-6 with a 7.68 ERA, 47 H and 30/34 K/BB in 38 2/3 IP for Triple-A Columbus, destroying what trade value he might have had for the Yankees. A very successful pitcher in Double-A last year, he entered the year as a potential bottom-of-the-rotation starter.
