Yankees set to add top reliever Britton to bullpen

The Yankees are close to agreement on a trade to acquire left-hander reliever Zach Britton from the rebuilding Baltimore Orioles for three prospects, a deal that would bolster New York’s bullpen for the stretch run.

According to a source, the trade would send right-hander Dillon Tate to the Orioles along with left-hander Josh Rogers and right-hander Cody Carroll, and is subject to the teams approving medical records.

The 30-year-old Britton would serve as a setup man for closer Aroldis Chapman, joining David Robertson, Dellin Betances, Chasen Shreve, Chad Green, Jonathan Holder and Adam Warren in an already strong bullpen.

“I think he’s one of the best relievers in the game,” Chapman said through a translator. “Having the opportunity to add somebody like that with so much talent would be very helpful.”

Britton, who began the season on the DL after tearing his Achilles tendon in December, has appeared in 16 games, going 1-0 with a 3.45 ERA and four saves. ANOTHER NO-HIT BID BY CARDINALS >> Left-hander Austin Gomber took a no-hitter in the seventh inning, leading the Cardinals to a 4-2 win over the Reds.

It was the second straight night a Cardinals rookie went deep into the game without allowing a hit. Daniel Poncedeleon threw no-hit ball for seven innings in his major league debut Monday before the Reds rallied against Bud Norris for a 2-1 win.

Gomber waited on the mound during a 7-minute, 30-second delay to the bottom of the seventh when the ballpark’s fire alarm went off. Joey Votto singled with one out for the Reds’ first hit, and Suarez followed with his 21st homer, ending the rookie’s debut as a starter.

Gomber made 15 relief appearances this season before the Cardinals sent him to Triple-A to get in shape to help their depleted rotation.
