Volpe takes a waist high FB outside corner for a strike. Takes a FB well outside, 1-1 Gets a cutter outside middle, and goes with it to deep right, but just missed under and it dies on the track in the corner for DeLuca, 2 down.
That at bat makes me almost as happy as the HR earlier, because he went with the pitch outside middle to right, instead of trying to pull it, and he just missed a 2nd HR. That swing works for him very well in this park.

And he throws a change near the corner away, bounced softly up the middle, Volpe goes for it behind the mound, brush bumps Cabrera going too far to his right, throws him off balance and needs too long to recover and the throw to 1st is late. Rosario reaches.

Paredes takes a FB high, ball 1 Takes a change low/away, 2-0 Swings over a change below the corner away, 1-1 Takes a change below the zone near middle, 3-2 Gets a change just outside middle but misses it, 3-2 Change below the outside corner is ball 4, but Paredes changes, grounds it to Volpe, who takes a long look at 2nd, double clutches, but still has time to throw out Paredes to end the inning.
Bottom 8, 6-1 Yanks Bottom of the order for the Yanks in the 8th: Cabrera, Grisham and LeMahieu.

Kevin Kelly comes in to pitch the 8th for the Rays. Sinker just below middle middle, Cabrera tries to jump it and misses, fouling it back. Gets a waist high cutter outer 3rd, misses that as well. Hey, Oswaldo, there has to be some part of the waist high zone you can make contact on... Slider outside, 1-2 Cutter stays outside above the waist, 2-2 Sweeper winds up thigh high, outside middle, and he pulls a sinking liner to the right of 2nd, bounces past Lowe's dive to his right for a leadoff single.

1st pitch to Soto is a terrible cutter just inside middle middle, and he hits a bullet well back into the Porch in right for a 3 run HR, Yanks expand to 9-1!
