CLEVELAND — The Yankees’ bullpen continues to be nearly unhittable, with 4 ¹/₃ more shutout innings in their 5-3 win over the Indians on Friday night.

While Aroldis Chapman may have the most impressive numbers, with 17 strikeouts in seven scoreless innings, Aaron Boone pointed to the fact he’s been able to rely on “eight or nine” relievers.

That includes Lucas Luetge, who got four key outs, including a strikeout of Franmil Reyes to end the fifth with runners on the corners.

The Yankees like the left-hander’s ability to get right-handed batters out, and he dropped in a curveball to get Reyes looking.

Darren O’Day, Chad Green and Chapman finished the job, with Chapman striking out another to earn his fourth save.

Boone called Chapman’s splitter, which he began using last season and thrown even more this season, “definitely a real weapon for him. He has a good feel for it.”

But Boone also mentioned Chapman’s more consistent “strike-throwing and delivery” which has led him to be better than in years past.

Chapman has whiffed 17 of 26 batters he has faced.

Gio Urshela was back in the lineup Friday after leaving Wednesday’s loss with lower back tightness that caused him to miss Thursday’s game, as well.

“He’s good,’’ Boone said of the third baseman, who was 0-for-3 with a walk on Friday. “He hit before [Thursday’s] game and woke up and felt good [Friday].”

Though Kyle Higashioka has been perhaps the Yankees’ hottest hitter, Boone said he was not tempted to play the catcher a second straight night, noting Higashioka would likely be behind the plate again Saturday with Gerrit Cole on the mound.

Higashioka, who has three homers and a pair of doubles already this season, has been one of the lone bright spots in the offense.

“It’s good to see him playing that way,’’ Boone said.

Cole will go up against Shane Bieber on Saturday, a rematch of Game 1 of last year’s wild-card series, when the Yankees scored seven runs in 4 ⅔ innings off Bieber in a 12-3 win.

“We got to see it last October,’’ Boone said of the matchup. “I wouldn’t mind it unfolding like that again.”

Taillon will start for the Yankees in the series finale on Sunday and Boone didn’t rule out the possibility of Garcia making his season debut on Monday in Baltimore.
