Slider drops into the upper part of the zone, inside middle, pulled foul FB waist high, outer 3rd, Volpe misses it, fouling it off FB near the top of the zone, Volpe tries to jerk it out, swings under it for the K
OK, that's a 12 pitch battle, but Volpe got 4 distinct breaks, and didn't take advantage. 1 down.

Good splitter dives knee high, middle, and Verdugo bounces it down the 1st base line, caught in foul ground by Parades, but the ump says it bounced over the bag and is fair, becomes a swinging bunt, takes it to the bag, runners move up to 2nd and 3rd. Verdugo was sure it was foul, never left home, 2 down.

I said it in one of the other game threads, the Rays look like they are a bad defensive team.

Cabrera takes a FB just high, called a strike anyway, Missed by 2 inches, 0% on Gameday, 0-1 A splitter going low in the middle, pulled to the 34 hole, goes off the mitt of a diving Lowe into right for a hit, both runners score and the Yanks lead 4-0!!!
Two somewhat lucky hits for the Yanks this inning, but I take it and run to the...uhhh...run bank to deposit.

Siri takes a curve low outside middle, 1-0 Takes a curve low, inside middle, 2-0 Takes a FB below the top of the zone, inside middle, 2-1 He won't take that one again. FB below the top, about 2-3 inches outside, but Siri goes with it to right, lands 10 rows back in the Porch, solo HR makes it 4-1 Yanks. Not even that bad a pitch, but Siri chases a lot and caught up to that one.

FB at the top outside middle, Caballero spoils it. Change way outside, he chases and gets a piece. Long at bat for Rodon here. Back leg slider gets a chase for the K, 2 down. The back leg slider to righties is so important for him.

DeLuca takes a curve waist high, outside corner, 0-1 FB at the extreme top outside corner, fouled, 0-2 Good spoil on a slider down and in that didn't quite get back leg, but was well out of the zone. THAT slide did get to the back leg, and he DID chase it, and it's a K, inning over.
No shutdown inning this time for Rodon, but not a bad one, 20 pitches and 2 K's, 73 through 5 and for the first time in 7 starts, he's through 5 innings AND eligible for a W.
Bottom 5, 4-1 Yanks. 9-1-2 for the Yanks in the 5th: LeMahieu, Rice and Soto.
