Hamilton comes in to face Bregman with 2 outs, nobody on, and the Yanks with a 5 run lead.
Normally, you'd see a cartoon bubble filled with "????" over my head on this move, but actually, this is not a bad idea.
Hamilton has not pitched well lately, so it's a good idea to bring him in for a low leverage situation to try to work out his mechanics and release point. If he gets into serious trouble, you still have Holmes behind him on 3 days' rest.

Pena has nine hits against the Yankees in six games. This is his second three-hit game against them this season.

FB inside, 1-0 on Bregman
Sinker near middle, 1-1
Slider backs way up and in and Hamilton is still way off, 2-1 almost hit Bregman who spun out of there.
Yanks the slider way outside, 3-1
Sinker with good ride up in the zone, Bregman misses it, pops to Torres in short center, inning over.
Bottom 8, 8-3 Yanks.
Cabrera, Volpe and Soto for the Yanks.

We get the honor of seeing Mr. Soto bat once more, and pretty likely Judge again…

Change outside ball 1.
Slider aimed for the backdoor gets too much of the plate, lined to center for a RBI single, 5 RBI for Soto, Yanks lead 9-3.
He's been a runaway train so far this year, no stops.

Judge takes a ball, then a slider inner half, and Judge pops it toward the corner to Tucker, gets over for the easy catch near the line, 2 down.

Verdugo takes a ball outside, then a change below the waist near middle, he rolls over on it to Altuve to end the inning.
Top 9, 9-3 Yanks.
Hamilton tries to close it out in the 9th, I think. He'll face the bottom of the Astros order, Diaz, Dubon and Meyers, who are 4 for 8 with a HBP tonight so far.

We get the honor of seeing Mr. Soto bat once more, and pretty likely Judge again… And an honor it was. He’s a combination of Tony Gwynn, Ted Williams, and Hank Aaron all rolled into one package… there’s no one that I’m aware of that had so many hit tools, plus his power… |
