Yanks not concerned with Chapman’s uneven night

TORONTO — Aroldis Chapman entered the game in the bottom of the ninth Friday, protecting a threerun lead.

He whiffed Josh Donaldson on a filthy slider in the dirt for the first out and then got Justin Smoak swinging on a 100-mph fastball.

But the Yankees closer added some drama to a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre by surrendering consecutive doubles — the first to pinch-hitter Steve Pearce and then another to Yangervis Solarte to bring the tying run to the plate.

Chapman recovered to get Randal Grichuk — who had homered off Masahiro Tanaka earlier in the game — looking on a 100-mph fastball.

Afterwards, there appeared to be no concern from Chapman or manager Aaron Boone.

“I thought he came in throwing the ball well,” Boone said. “I thought it was the best velocity we’ve seen from him [and he was] still spinning it well.”

Chapman seemed bemused about even being asked about the inning, which featured three strike- outs and followed Thursday’s season-opening win in which he tossed a perfect ninth, fanning two.

“It was just a couple of pitches they were able to connect and hit two doubles,” Chapman said through an interpreter.

The next question will be whether Boone and pitching coach Larry Rothschild will even consider going to Chapman for a third straight day on Saturday.

It seems unlikely this early in the season, particularly when they’ll have other options to close — including David Robertson, who needed just five pitches to get two outs in the eighth.

A year ago, Chapman didn’t give up a run in any of his first seven appearances and just one in his first 12.

But he faltered in May and ended up on the disabled list with inflammation in his rotator cuff. And in August, Chapman briefly lost his closer’s spot.

No doubt the Yankees will monitor his workload closely. He threw just 10 pitches Thursday, but needed 23 Friday.

“I feel good,” Chapman said. “I feel rested and healthy. If they give me the ball [Saturday], I’ll go out and pitch.”
