They can motor. Those two guys are fast," Clemens said, marveling at Reyes and Gomez.
Reyes tied his career best for steals and leads the major leagues with 35. Torre turned to bench coach Don Mattingly in the dugout and compared the pair with Maury Wills and Lou Brock.
"Any time those guys get on base, they're going to cause havoc," he said.
Oliver Perez escaped trouble in the second, when he struck out Melky Cabrera with two outs and the bases loaded. Perez dropped the Yankees to 7-10 this year against left-handed starters.
"We ran into a buzz saw," Torre said. "The most important is that we won't see him again."
