    Clarke Schmidt’s debut shows the Yankees are still in peril

    It turned out to be, in every way, the exact opposite of the narrative the Yankees wanted to craft Friday night. One young pitcher’s encore falling short of his debut. A second pitcher’s debut occurring in about as tough a spot as you would construct for your worst enemy. Two streaks of dominance screeching to …
