Yankees Pitcher Sergio Mitre Completes Rehab, Gets Win in First Game Back

New York Yankees pitcher Sergio Mitre was called up Tuesday after completing his rehab at Fischer Sports for a Tommy John procedure on his right elbow.

Mitre, who was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before the game, allowed four runs, three earned, and eight hits over 5 2/3 innings in his first major league start since Sept. 15, 2007. It was his first win since July 29, 2007, for Florida at San Francisco.

The Yankees (56-37) moved a season-best 19 games over .500 and took a one-game lead in the AL East over Boston, which lost to Texas.
