Despite the series victory, the Yankees\u2019 lead in the American League East shrank due to the <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/rays\">Tampa Bay Rays\u2019<\/a> three-game sweep of the <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/twins\">Minnesota Twins<\/a>. However, the Yankees still lead the division by 1 \u00bd games and boast the AL\u2019s best record.

Last season, Warren walked 9.1% of the batters he faced. However, in 31 1\/3 innings this year, Warren has allowed seven free passes.
