Torres leads off. Takes two sinkers low, 2-0. Gets one right down the middle, fouls it off. Beaten clean by another one up and in but in the zone, 2-2. Waves at the cutter diving off the plate outside for the K. Lots of glove side movement on that cutter.

Cutter barely catches the inside corner to Soto, 0-2. Tries one further inside, Soto reads it correctly and takes. Splitter away, tapped to the right of the mound, Brown races it down, takes it to the bag himself, 2 down.

Judge might be "The Guy", but Soto is the better hitter.

Beats Judge clean with a FB above middle, 0-1. 97 on that one. Cutter outside at the knees, 1-1. Curve bounced, 2-1. Cutter well low/away, 3-1. Hanging slider just below and outside of middle, but Judge can't center it, fouled off. Missed a cookie there. Takes a sharp breaking cutter outside at the knees, ball 4. Good job, Judge.

It's not that long a lineup, Smoltz. Not yet, anyway.

Judge might be "The Guy", but Soto is the better hitter. Still, Judge should have two MVP's.

Misses a FB up in the zone, 0-2 on Rizzo. Chokes up with 2 strikes. Chases a FB about 10 inches above the zone for the K. Inning over. Bottom 1, 0-0. 18 pitches for Brown in the 1st. His stuff looks sharp.
As I said multiple times last night, Stroman better be on his game, because the Astros will be, shall we say, highly motivated for this one after losing two to the Yanks, especially the way they handed the game to the Yanks with walks and errors last night.

I see a sweep on the way!

Altuve: Sinker up in the zone, 0-1. Cutter outside, 1-1. Sinker inside, 2-1. Flies open, leaves the cutter well above the zone, 3-1. Sinker in, jams him a hair, his sinking liner is caught by Valpe at ground level with a dive/fall. 1 down.

Alvarez takes a ball, then gets a sinker up in the zone and barely misses it, hits a high fly toward the Crawford boxes that dies on the track. Verdugo catches, 2 down. Stroman got away with a bad sinker there.

Today's Yankees lineup Torres, 2B Soto, RF Judge, DH Rizzo, 1B Verdugo, LF Volpe, SS Wells, C Cabrera, 3B Grisham, CF Stroman, P Stanton is riding the pine today. Of course. He hit a homer yesterday… the BaBoone hot hitter test program…

1-1 on Tucker. Bounces a splitter away. 2-1 Stroman command is not remotely sharp yet. Fouls off a sinker at the knees, 2-2. Wells glove fakes up and away, and Tucker swings over a cutter way down and in for the K. Inning over. Top 2, 0-0. 12 pitch 1-2-3 for Stroman in the 1st.
