Sabathia became a 20-game winner for the first time in his stellar career, pitching the New York Yankees past the Baltimore Orioles 11-3 Saturday night.
After reaching an elusive milestone, CC Sabathia sounded as if he wanted to postpone celebrating it.
“Maybe after the season,†Sabathia said. “But right now we’re right in the middle of this thing—trying to win a championship, trying to win a division first. … Maybe after the season I can sit back and enjoy it a little more. Right now, I’m just looking five days ahead and who I’m pitching against next.â€
Sabathia (20-6) leads the majors in victories. He twice finished seasons with 19 wins, and succeeded this year in his third try at No. 20.
“He has been our ace all year, really since he’s got here, and to get to 20 wins is quite an accomplishment,†Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Sabathia.
