The Yankees already had a tall enough task in front of them at 5-1. They didn't need Kerry Wood to come out of the bullpen and make things any worse, so, fortunately enough for them, he was effective and kept the Rangers quiet.
Yankees Vs. Rangers, ALCS Game 6: Kerry Wood Throws Scoreless Sixth
In relief of the ineffective David Robertson, Wood got a groundout from Bengie Molina, a fly out from Mitch Moreland, and a groundout from Elvis Andrus. That 1-2-3 inning sends us to the top of the seventh, with the Rangers up four.
Colby Lewis' pitch count stands at 78 right now. With the entire bullpen and a couple starters available in relief, Lewis will presumably come out at the first sign of trouble.
