Game 98 Yankees (Rodon) & Orioles (Kremer) 11:35am EST Roku

WHEW

Alright Volpe! Inning over

Volpe 🧤…

Verdugo should've thrown to 2nd even with the play in front of him, would've kept a runner out of scoring position (the go-ahead run) and kept the force at 2nd alive.

Cowser takes a slider above the inside corner, 1-0
Slider misses outside waist high.2-0
Wells goes out to talke to Rodon.
Slider into the middle at the very top, gets the marginal call, 10-15% on Gameday, 2-1
Slider on the outside corner, swung on and missed, 2-2
Takes his timeout
Then takes a slider low/away, 3-2.
Long pitchcounts galore for Rodon here.
Slider on the corner in the same spot as the 3-1 slider, hit off the end of the bat, a flare to the right side of 2nd, but Volpe reads it and makes a lunging catch to his left, saving two runs. 3 star play by Volpe there to get out of the inning.

27 pitches for Rodon in the 2nd, 45 through 2.
Top 2, 1-0 Yanks
Top of the order for the Yanks in the 3rd; Rice, Soto and Judge

Soto...
Takes a cutter up and away, ball 1
Takes a split up and further away, 2-0
Cutter on the outside corner, taken, 2-1
Takes a meatball in the drop the bat happy zone, must've thought it was the curve, but it was the FB, 2-2
And, of course, chases the FB 6-8 inches high, fouls it
And chases a splitter 6 inches off the plate away, K, 2 down. Soto thinks he checked, but the HP ump said he swung and he did, on the side view.

Judge fouls off a sinker near middle
Takes a cutter outside, 1-1
Takes a cutter on the corner away, 1-2
FB gets a tiny piece of the corner low/away not called, Judge might have gotten a small break on that one, 2-2
Splitter below and inside middle, Judge misses under, flies out to Cowser in medium deep left of center, inning over.

16 pitch 1-2-3 for Kremer in the 3rd, 47 through 3.
Bottom 3, 1-0 Yanks
McCann, then back to the top for Henderson and Rutschman for the O's in their half of the 3rd.
