Yankees fan misses 3 chances to catch foul ball at game
The six runs scored by the Red Sox in the first inning on Tuesday were enough to win.
Although Pineda put the Yankees in an early setback, the offense did their best to get right back into the game in the bottom of the first.
Blame the pitching for this latest loss. It never happened. Instead, he had a few beers, and things got worse.
With his father and brother among dozens of supporters in the stands, Rick Porcello certainly didn’t want to get knocked out in the first inning. Rodriguez went 0-for-4 and he had trouble connecting on the 93- mile fastballs thrown by Porcello. Including his eight starts at Triple A, he already thrown 170 innings this season, 25 more than his preceding career high. “I don’t know that those balls I hit are home runs anywhere else”. The Yankees have dropped consecutive contests and have no room for error so the odds are not in their favor. “The last couple weeks, that’s something that we’ve been talking about”. I walked into the same place that he was and we were both civilians. “My buddy texted me and said I was on the local news in Toronto”, Smith tells Esquire. “Just come back and play good Yankee baseball, and we will”. “And part of that is me swinging the bat well”. Porcello’s ERA for the season sits at 5.02. Girardi is looking at putting catcher John Ryan Murphy at first against left handed pitching.
The Yankees didn’t score off the right-hander again, though they did put a scare into him in the fourth.
Houston (83-75) fell a half-game behind the Los Angeles Angels in the race for the final American League wild-card spot.
Perhaps as important as anything, since August. 1 Rodriguez has hit just. A-Rod, who turned 40 years old July 27, is hitting just.
What he did so well to help carry this team was hit in the clutch. That brought up Bogaerts, who grounded into his second double play of the night, wasting an opportunity to tack on additional insurance runs. However, Gardy was not on first, so Ellsbury scored and there was no double play. This is because A-Rod is becoming a man on an island — and the magic that has marked his comeback season has deserted him. We’ve been doing that all year. “He made it look very easy, so he’s a strong man”. Home runs were again decisive in the victory. After Brian McCann’s RBI ground out scored a run, Carlos Beltran delivered an RBI double and Dustin Ackley hit a two-run homer for New York.
The home run to Navarro was the first Hill had yielded to a major-league hitter since 2013, a span of 37 1/3 innings.
Jean Machi took the mound to close out the Yankees on 12 pitches, capped off by a strikeout of Gregorius. He has five homers on the season, three in the last three games. But getting those two wins for the wildcard these past two nights is becoming an eternity.
The Red Sox were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention on Monday night, something that barely registered with a team that has become increasingly reliant on young players in recent weeks. It speaks to the all-encompassing nature of Boston’s transformation over the past two months, one culminating Tuesday in their first five-game winning streak of the entire season.
Just like any other morning on a Boston Red Sox road trip, interim manager Torey Lovullo woke up Tuesday and headed for the gym at the team hotel.
