His defense has been good there. can he hit enough? Probably not. DJ's regression really hurts. |

Grisham's in Stanton's spot in the order. Here comes the Stanton injury.  Stanton looked like he was in pain rounding third on that Gleyber double. |

Arcia chases a slider outside, fouls it.
Slider way low/away taken, 1-1
Sinker low/away, 2-1
Sinker about 3-4 inches outside, waist high, chased and fouled, 2-2
Cutter into the top of the zone, spoiled
Slider dives to the ShortPorch, thigh high, 6 inches outside, Arcia chases with a wild swing, and K's. There goes Stroman, taking advantage of the ShortPorch off the plate away again.

Albies...
Slurve on the bockdoor below the waist, taken, 0-1
Cutter misses well outside, 1-1
Solitter tails outside, but Albies tries to pull it, rolls it over to Rice in the ShortPorch back of 1st, takes it to the bag, inning over.
Bottom 6, 4-1 Yanks.
Another easy 1-2-3 for Stroman, 11 pitches and 78 through 6.
He's retired 10 in a row since Kelenic's walk with 1 out in the 3rd. The ShortPorches are helping him out.
Grisham PH for Stanton, who might have hurt his leg. Sigh.
Rice and Torres to follow.

Good Lord, Grisham is a terrible hitter. I don't give a crap how good his glove is. If he can't hit .100 he shouldn't be on a major league team.

So far Rice has looked like a first baseman. He looks like a player, too… An MLB one… I like him…

Torres takes a cutter to the drop the bat happy zone for a strike.
Morton throws over on Tim Raines, Jr., Jr., uh, I mean, Rice.
Curve to the same spot as the cutter fouled off 3rd, 0-2
FB misses well outside near the top, 1-2
Bounces the curve outside, taken, 2-2
Curve starts at his body drops to the ShortPorch in the zone down and in, Torres swings over, K, 2 down.
At 97 pitches, Morton is done.
Bringing a lefty for Wells seems like overkill at this point, but in comes Aaron Bummer, who was a lefty for the White Sox recentily, if I remember right. Morton heads for the ShortPorch Showers.

Bummer is a 5 pitch lefty, doesn't throw that hard, FB and sinker are both 93-4, also throws slider cutter and change.

Cutter to Wells hangs inside, ball 1
Sweeper misses well outside, waist high, 2-0
Cutter misses just outside at the bottom 3-0. It was a ball, but d'Arnaud held the bell for a moment, expecting the call. 0% on Gameday by maybe 1/2 inch.
Takes a get it over sinker just inside middle middle, 3-1
Takes another sinker, just below the pitch before, 3-2
Sinker backs up inside thigh high, ball 4.
1st and 2nd, 2 down for Cabrera.

Wow, Wells scores from first on a great piece of hitting by Oswaldo.
