Hamilton goes after a 1st pitch FB at the top in the middle, pops it foul near the Sox' dugout, both DJ and Wells goes for it, and Wells catches it with a late lunge, fine play by Wells, 1 down.

Okay. Susie’s prattle giving away scores, etc. has become non stop and obnoxious.
Sounds like Gil has it together so far…

Devers takes a change at the knees, not called, 20-25% on Gameday, Gil froze waiting for a strike call that should've happened, but didn't, 1-0
Takes a slider above middle, 1-1
Chases a change diving outside below the waist, 1-2
Chases a slider over the middle, but diving below the knees for the K, inning over.
Bottom 4, 0-0.
Another good 1-2-3 for Gil. 12 pitches and 49 through 4.
Top of the order for the Yanks in the 4th: Rice, Soto and Judge.

Still mostly FBs, but the slider is the 2nd pitch so far, and he's only thrown about 4-5 changes in 49 pitches. |

Judge has been nonexistent in this series.

Soto goes after a first pitch FB above the waist, slaps it right to Rafaela, throws him out, 2 down.
30 pitches in 3 2/3 innings for Crawfod. At that pace, he can only go 12 innings.
Judge takes a FB below the top for a strike
Misses a sweeper at the top of the zone, 0-2
Takes a sweeper on the outside corner waist high, for a ꓘ, inning over, and this is getting stupid already.
A great game? OK. A dominant game? It happens. But a dominant game on 8 pitches an inning, that's just failure to adpat to what he's doing.
7-pitch 1-2-3 with 2 K's for Crawford and he's through 4 innings at 33 pitches.
5-6-7 for the Sox iun the 5th, along with the inevitable Boone interview interruption: Wong, Yoshida and Abreu.

Yoshida gets a change above middle, thinks it's a FB, is early and tops it to Rice at first, takes it to the bag, 2 down.

Slider hangs outside to Abreu, 1-0
Slider drops barely to the top of the zone at the outer 3rd, called a strike, 1-1
Change runs well outside near the top, 2-1
Misses a 97 FB above the waist, outside corner, 2-2
Slider waist high, 3-4 inches inside, pulls it hard but way way foul into the 2nd deck.
Good slider with 2 plane motion down and in out of the zone, swung over. K, inning over.
Hey, Karl! He DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE SAME GIL. The slider is the #2 pitch right now, and the often-used change is an afterthought so far tonight.
