Game 96: Yankees (Cole) at Orioles (Povich)

Supposedly, Accuweather minutecast for the area of Camden Yards says a medium shower goes through in about 20 minutes and some lighter steadier rain about 1/2 hour later, but maybe between 8:30 and 9:00 the heavy rain comes in for the night. So maybe they can get in 5-6 innings before the rain stops things.

I must say I'm kind of surprised that they brought up Vivas rather than Oswald. Soto, Wells, and Rice are hitting from the left side; they really need another right handed bat that might hit. Peraza has started hitting of late. He also can play multiple positions, while Yorbit only plays second base. Unless their plan is to sit Gleyber versus righties or they want a LHB off the bench against a righty reliever, Yorbit really isn't a good fit. Who knows, maybe they told Gleyber his replacement is here unless he wakes up.

Soto shows bunt, takes a cutter well high.
Swings over a cutter going to the low outside corner, 1-1
Hangs a slider right down the middle, lined, a sinking liner to right, Santander misjudges, goes back then tries to come in and dive and he traps it, Soto with a 1 out single.

That was clearly on a bounce, no replay necessary.

Judge takes a curve bounced on or just over home, gets away a bit from Rutschman, but no advance.
Takes a sinker low on the inner half, 2-0
Flies open on a change, misses well outside, 3-0
Throw over, Soto was hardly off the bag, gets back easy.
Flies open again, cutter misses about a foot outside, ball 4. Pitches around Judge to get to Rice and Torres. 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Someone should tell Nelly that moving the fence back doesn't really matter to Judge.
