""He left the split up a little bit to Kurtz and then probably didn't get the ball in quite enough to Langeliers, who I actually thought put a really good swing on that pitch," said Aaron Boone, commenting on Bednar's performance."
""There's definitely been some years where it's taken a little bit to get in that next gear," said Bednar, addressing concerns about his velocity early in the season."
The Athletics secured a 3-2 victory against the Yankees, tying the series at Yankee Stadium. David Bednar struggled in the ninth inning, allowing a leadoff single and a double, leading to the go-ahead run from a sac fly by Brent Rooker. Bednar's fastball velocity has decreased this season, averaging 95.6 mph compared to 97.1 mph last year. Despite this, both Bednar and manager Aaron Boone expressed confidence that his performance would improve with warmer weather and increased innings.
