By the time Chad Green was finally summoned from the bullpen Monday night, the Yankees had already allowed the Red Sox to take a commanding lead in Game 3 in The Bronx.

Green seemed like the logical choice to take over for Luis Severino after Severino loaded the bases with no one out in the top of the fourth, but Lance Lynn was brought in instead, and the three-run triple Lynn gave up to Andrew Benintendi all but ended the Yankees’ hopes of a comeback in a 16-1 loss.

But Green’s performance, once he did get in the game, didn’t do much to support the second-guessers of Aaron Boone, since he hardly helped matters after entering a 7-0 game.

With runners on the corners and one out, Green got Rafael Devers to pop to second for the second out, but instead of getting out of the inning there, Green then allowed an RBI single to Steve Pearce, followed by a two-run triple to Brock Holt, which made it 10-0.

He recorded just five outs on the night and allowed four baserunners. The two walks he allowed matched his season-high, which he reached just once in 63 appearances.

Perhaps just as damaging, Green has allowed all four baserunners he’s inherited in this series to score.

In Game 1 in Boston, Green entered in relief in the third inning for J.A. Happ in what turned out to be a 5-4 loss.

With runners on first and third and no one out after Happ failed to record an out in the third, Green gave up a run-scoring single to Pearce, a long fly ball to deep right by J.D. Martinez that sent Benintendi to third and then a line-drive sacrifice fly to left that scored Benintendi.

Still, Green undoubtedly would have been a better option than Lynn to keep the Yankees in the game earlier. Green struck out an average of 11.2 batters per nine innings during the regular season, while Lynn whiffed 9.2 per nine innings.
