Sinker inside corner, DJ hits it sharply, but the one-hopper goes right to Horwitz, who throws him out, inning over. Yanks get a leadoff double, but fail to move Torres off 2nd. Bottom 3, 4-0 Yanks. 14 pitches for Gausman in the 3rd, 64 through 3. Top of the order for the Jays in the 3rd: Kiner-Falefa, Horwitz and Guerrero.

In the NL East, the Phillies (54-29) have fallen on some hard times, losing star hitters Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber to the IL in the same week. They're 5-5 in their last 10, and allowing the Braaves to stay within striking ranger. The Braves have won 2 straight and 6 of 10, and are 11 games over and 7 games back. The Mets continue their hot play. They lost yesterday on a brutal blown save by Reid Garrett, but have won 7 of 10, have climbed back from 11 games under to even .500. They've 5 1/2 back of the Braves and 12 1/2 behind the Phils. The Nats fell to 4th. They've lost 6 of 10, are 4 games under, 2 behind the Mets, 7 1/2 behind the Braves and 14 1/2 out of first. The Marlins had a decent stretch recently. They've won 6 of 10, are 23 games under. They're 9 1/2 back of 4th, 11 1/2 behind NY, 17 behind Atlanta, and 24 games out of 1st.

Wells takes a splitter outside, 1-0 FB in a crushable spot, just below and inside middle, but he misses, fouling it back, 1-1 Splitter low on the corner away, fouled off, 1-2 FB above and inside middle at 96, fouled back. Splitter bounced just outside an taken, 2-2 He's going to have to start riking that splitter that starts inside to lefties and winds up low over the middle to get more chases. FB outside, 3-2 Humps up to 98 on the FB inner 3rd, but Wells fouls it back again. Good spoil there. FB just below the waist on the corner away, swung under for the K. Again, a swing angle change will probably be necessary. Something is definitely wrong with his swing. He seemingly has a good approach, but he just misses too many pitches.

Fried Rice with a fine full-count walk. An excellent at bat.

I’d honestly take IKF back to play 3B in a second. He’d be the third best hitter in this lineup.

"You know a lot about wind."
If that isn't a great set up to a joke, and Flash does nothing with it.

Gets under a FB way high, 3-2 FB just a bit off the inside corner at the top (toward the middle), jams him, high pop to Volpe, easy play, 1 down.

So far it looks like Gausman has Volpe's number(0-14 9 Ks).

Strange pitch selection with a 4 run lead.

Knuckle curve into the zone low/away, 0-1 on Horwitz FB outside below the waist, 1-1 Hanging cutter up in the zone above middle, fouled off. Takes his timeout FB inside waist high, 2-2 Slider down and in, fouled off. Jays working a lot of long counts on Cole, he's up to 50 pitches now. Just 2 1/3 innings. They want to get to the Yankees weak pen. And they're going to. He'snot getting through 5 today, with the pitch count limit FB above midddle, fouled off. Cutter way up and away, 3-2 Curve backs up, up and away, ball 4. Bad bad bad. You might have cause to regret the excellent "field sound" Ryan, after a player or two drops an audible f-bomb.

Good at bat from Horwitz, making Cole work.

Strange pitch selection with a 4 run lead. Trying to drop it into the zone, looking like a FB missing up and away, but yeah.

FB in the zone up and in, 0-1 Cutter pitching off it, starts inside, hits the corner, not called, bad call, 50/50 on Gameday, 1-1 Slider outside, 2-1 FB at the knees, middle out, gets a piece of the bottom, called strike 2. FB up and in at 97, hits him on the hand. 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Guerrero hurt. Cole's stuff looks OK, command just off a bit.

Unbelievable, Cole is playing with fire here.
