Still no new netting in Bronx

There was no new netting — and no new comments from the Yankees on the topic — on Monday at the Stadium. The Yanks returned home for an 11-3 win against the Royals, their first game in the Bronx since a young girl was hospitalized last Wednesday after she was hit in the face by a Todd Frazier line drive in the lower section of seats just past the third-base dugout.

Several major-league teams since have announced plans to extend protective netting at their stadiums next season, but the Yankees mostly have remained silent aside from a brief statement last week expressing concern for the girl. Yank prez Randy Levine told the New York Times on Monday that he didn't want to talk about the netting. Local politicians have vowed to pressure the Yanks to join the Mets, who installed extended netting during the All-Star break, to do so to better protect spectators.

Frazier, who has been in touch with the girl’s family since the incident, has been among several Yankees players to strongly advocate additional netting at all big-league parks.

“We’ve been texting back and forth. (Her father) said she’s doing a lot better,” Frazier said after Monday’s game. “The hard stuff is behind now and hopefully she’ll be getting out (of the hospital), hopefully today ... I’ve still been praying for her every day and hoping for the best.”

CC AND WHITEY

CC Sabathia’s 13th win of the season also was the 236th of his career, tying him with another fair southpaw, Yanks legend Whitey Ford, for 16th on the all-time list among lefthanders.

“That’s cool. Joe (Girardi) told me after the game,” Sabathia said. “Just keep going.”

The pending free agent tossed six scoreless innings before allowing three runs in the seventh. Coming off knee surgery last October, Sabathia (13-5) is tied for the team lead in wins over 26 starts.

“It feels good to be able to contribute,” CC said. “I thought if I can just healthy, I could, and I did that for the most part.”

DEALIN’ WITH DELLIN

Girardi said the “best-case scenario” this week would be get reliever Dellin Betances into three or four games to see “if we can get him going.” The four-time AllStar has allowed six runs in nine September appearances.

“He’s important to us, much like (closer Aroldis Chapman),” Girardi said. “Chappy had a little period where he was struggling and we got him going. We need to do the same with Dellin.”

SOMETHING WILD

Girardi acknowledged he’s set his rotation to line up for next week’s AL wild-card game, with expected starter Luis Severino slated to make his final regular-season start Wednesday against Tampa Bay, followed by Sonny Gray on Thursday. Jordan Montgomery will start Tuesday’s series opener.
