Burns a FB above the knees outside middle at 96, 0-1 on Judge.
Change starts outside corner, clips the knees outside middle, Judge behind the 8-ball here, 0-2
Slider bounced outside, Lee makes a terrific lunge to prevent a wild pitch, 1-2
Blows the FB by Judge at the top of the zone for the K. 2 down
And that's why righties will DEFINITELY pitch around Soto with a base open to get to Judge. Judge simply has more holes to exploit.

Soto takes a curve in the drop the bat happy zone for a strike. No matter, because he gets a sinker almost in the same spot, and hits it to Yonkers. Deep blast just to the right of the main bleachers makes it 6-1 Yanks. Soto's 2nd HR of the game, the Yankees 4th makes it 6-1 Yanks!!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Ron Davis's place in Yankee history remains secure. Big burly, bespectacled right-hander. Threw 131 innings of relief in 1980. That's a starter's innings now. Hard to believe he was only with the Yankees for four years -- 27-10 with an ERA+ of 133. He went to the Twins in the Roy Smalley deal and was never very good after that. Even son Ike is long gone from the big leagues. |

There’s no way they can let this kid walk in FA. Would be easily Top 5 biggest mistake in Yankees history Derek Jeter was right when he said it last year he's always been the missing piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Verdugo tries to jump a 1st pitch FB outside corner.
Unfortunately it was a change and he popped it up to DeJong to end the inning.
Yanks leave them loaded in the 6th.
Top 7, 6-1 Yanks
Burdi in to relieve Gil, who threw his 4th great game in a row.
6 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 1 BB and 14 K's
7-8-9 for the White Sox, Lee, Lopez and Mendick.

Slider on the outside corner just below the waist, taken, 0-1
Fb misses outside by 3 inches, called a strike anyway. No idea where this guy's K zone actually is. That one was not close, 0% on Gameday by a good 3-4 inches.
Slider outside, 1-2
FB well outside, 2-2
FB with some sink hits the knees on the outer half, Lee guessing slider by location and count, just stares at it.
There have been some bad ball/strike calls, but that wasn't one of them
ꓘ, 1 down./

Surprisingly he held the Twins closer job for several years despite higher ERA’s…from 82-85 he went 17-34: 3.99, 106 saves… |

Also can't forget having a real LF and not the AAAA player of the week helps a lot. I guess verdugo just needed a chance of scenery? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mendick, DOWN BY FIVE WITH 2 OUTS AND NOBODY ON, goes after a 1st pitch FB at the top, just inside middle, and hits a can o'corn to Judge to end the inning.
Shake my damn head.
Bottom 7, 6-1 Yanks.
Soroka at 42 pitches, but might stay in there to face Stanton, Rizzo and Torres.
