It was a long one, but the Yankees win a laugher.

Sinker 3 inches inside called a strike anyway, bad call, and Duran takes 2nd on defensive indifference.
Sinker waist high inner 3rd, fouled hard off Trevino, who seems to be OK.
Sinker way outside, 1-2 on O'Neill
Slider about 2 inches above the ground and a foot outside, O'Neill with basically a give-up hack for the K. Game over.
Yanks win 8-1, and gain a game on the Sox, the Rays and the Jays. We'll see about the O's. They're still delayeed, heading for the top of the 11th.

Yanks win, 8-1, bouncing back after the tough blown loss yesterday, and get back to 28 over .500 at 50-22, the best record in MLB.
They've now won 5 of 6, 13 of 16, 24 of 31, and 30 of 39.
They lead the Sox by 14, the Jays by 15 1/2 and the Rays by 16. If the O's win, they stay 2 1/2 back; if not, the lead is 3 1/2.

3rd star of the game: the bullpen (yes, even the дерьмо Kahnle), especially Ferguson and Tonkin, pitching 4 scoreless innings of relief to nail it down
2nd star: Luis Gil, battling with command issues and a Sox team determined to wear him down, giving up just 1 run on 4 hits with 4 BB and 6 K's in 5 innings, earning his 9th win and actually lowering his ERA to 2.03 the hard way, 104 pitches, the most he's ever thrown in a game, and the first time over 100 pitches this year.
1st star: Who else? Verdugo, for the 2 run HR in the first to give the Yanks the early lead and tacking on a RBI double in the 5th and a RBI single in the 9th in his homecoming. Who says you can't go home again?

Game 2 is tomorrow at almost normal time on FOX AwfulSmoltzCast at 7:15. Carlos Rodon shoots for his 8th straight win, he's 9-2 on the season with a 2.93 ERA, good for 9th in the AL. Rookie Cooper Criswell goes for the Sox to try to even the series. He's 3-3 with a 4.13 ERA in 10 starts and has struggled in his last 5, nearly doubling his ERA from 2.10. He's 1-2 with a 6.45 ERA in those 5 starts, just one good game among the five.
Tomorrow's game preview done, I go to catch up on my notifications.

If anyone cares, the player who tried to bunt, and popped to Torres for the first Yankees title since I was aware of the Yanks, was Lee Lacy, if I remember right. Lacy did get to win a World Series two years later with the "We Are Family" Pirates. I did remember it right; Lacy it was. Well, it was first title as a Yankee fan. I was not quite 3 years old the last time they won on McCovey's lineout to Richardson with the bases loaded and two outs in the 9th in a 1-0 game in 1962. Ralph Terry was THATCLOSE to giving up two game 7 title-blowing hits, that one and the Mazeroski HR in 1960. |

O's tied it in the 10th, now it's top 11 in Baltimore and it looks like there's a rain delay there too, now. A wild pitch with two outs tied the game for Baltimore.  Didn't know that. That deserves a  and a  as well. |

The 77 team was was sort of the first title team I remembered but I was 8. I remember the disappointment of 81 more than the joys of 77 or 78. |
