Yankees' CC Sabathia: Caps season on a high note

Sabathia (9-12) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over 7.1 innings in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.

Analysis:

Sabathia threw a gem in his final start of the year, lasting a season-high 7.2 innings while dominating a dangerous Red Sox lineup. He won't get a chance to pitch in the postseason, as the Yankees were eliminated from playoff contention despite the victory. A strong finish helped the 36-year-old lefty lower his ERA to below 4.00 for the first time since 2012.
