The losing streak has reached 7 games, and it continues in embarrassing fashion. The Yankees lost on a walk-off at their own damn ballpark (thanks to a rescheduled video game).
Given that its Friday night, and we simply endured two video games and a rain hold-up, lets evaluate this bullet-point style.
Leftovers – Adam Ottavino worked around a one-out double in the fourth, but Nick Nelson wasnt as fortunate in the fifth. He permitted a run on a double by Brandon Nimmo. Sánchezs struggles at the plate continued too, as he went 0-2 with a walk. And, last but not least, this video game feels entirely inconsequential because actor Chadwick Boseman unfortunately lost his fight to cancer tonight. He was 43. Boseman played Jackie Robinson in 42, and he died on Jackie Robinson Day. Just horrible news.
Lo and Behold – Jonathan Loáisiga made his 3rd start for the Yankees, and you know what? He did an all right task. The 25-year-old allowed one run on 3 hits throughout three innings. He struck out 3. The only run off Loáisiga can be found in the first inning, when Dom Smith laced a two-out RBI single. The right-hander balanced 96.9 miles per hour on his fastball, maxing out at 98 mph. He still didnt miss out on as numerous bats as one would like, but Ill take it tonight.
The losing streak has reached seven games, and it continues in embarrassing style. The Yankees lost on a walk-off at their own damn ballpark (thanks to a rescheduled game). Thats a recipe for catastrophe, as hes susceptible to lose the zone without routine work. Kratz plated the very first run, then Aaron Hicks singled with the bases loaded to offer the Yankees the lead. And, last but not least, this video game feels entirely insignificant due to the fact that actor Chadwick Boseman unfortunately lost his battle to cancer tonight.
The Subway Series continues tomorrow afternoon, weather allowing, with very first pitch set for 1:05 PM. J.A. Happ is the Yankees likely starter, while the Mets have yet to announce theirs. Heres todays box rating, and the win-probability chart is listed below.
Party Like Its 2013 – Jordy Mercer and Erik Kratz, leading the Yankees offense, simply how we drew it up in spring training. The Yankees scored three in the 3rd off Mets starter David Peterson in the most 2013 way possible. Kratz plated the very first run, then Aaron Hicks singled with the bases filled to offer the Yankees the lead.
Humiliation – Aroldis Chapman came on in the seventh, making simply his second appearance on the season. Thats a recipe for disaster, as hes vulnerable to lose the zone without regular work. He strolled Jeff McNeil, then served up the walk-off house run to Ahmed Rosario.
