Phil Hughes said the New York Yankees’ decision to skip his turn in the rotation made him stronger. Now, the Yankees would like to see him prove it. Coming off his worst performance of the season despite nine days of rest, Hughes looks to bounce back in his regular turn Sunday afternoon as the Yankees decide their series with the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. Hughes has looked like a potential All-Star in his first full season as a starter, and New York recently made a move designed to prevent him from tiring later in the year. The Yankees skipped his turn June 25 at Dodger Stadium in an effort to limit his innings even though he’d won five straight starts. The rest certainly didn’t help Hughes on Tuesday against Seattle. He gave up season highs of 10 hits and seven runs over 5 2-3 innings in a 7-4 loss.
Hughes, however, has a 6.87 ERA over his last three starts while allowing four homers - the same total he gave up through his first 11 outings. One thing Hughes can typically count on is help from his offense. The Yankees give him an average of 8.49 runs, easily the best support in the majors. They’ll be hard-pressed to match their output from the third inning Saturday, however. New York totaled nine runs in losing three of four - falling 6-1 in the series opener - but scored all of its runs in the third during an 11-3 rout of the Blue Jays. Brandon Morrow gave up a run and four hits over seven innings while striking out eight against New York on June 6 in Toronto, and appeared to have his team on the verge of completing a three-game sweep. The Jays’ bullpen imploded, however, in a 4-3 loss. Morrow’s experience on the road has been far less impressive. The right-hander is 5-1 with a 2.82 ERA at home but 0-5 with a 6.69 ERA away from Rogers Centre.
