Tyler Clippard beat all his new teammates to the Yankees clubhouse and quickly changed in a makeshift locker. He spent the next four hours watching the "Bad News Bears," checking text messages, adjusting his headphones and flipping a ball to himself.

The baby-faced Clippard made his major league debut by striking out Jose Reyes on three pitches and delivered the poised performance the banged-up Yankees needed, leading them past the Mets 6-2 Sunday night.

With Mets fans playfully chasing Yankees' rooters with brooms around Shea Stadium, the Yankees avoided a Subway Series sweep and stopped a three-game losing streak.
