Soto goes after a 1st pitch curve in the zone low/away, grounded to Hamilton toward 2nd, he fields and throws him out, and even Soto is not immune to the bad RISP fail here.
Yanks get a GIFT leadoff double and do NOTHING with it, not even a 2nd baserunner, and 3 RISP fails later, it's still 6-5 Sox, going bottom 6.
Rafaela, then back to the top for Duran and Abreu for the Sox in their half of the inning.

Those were the days. Bobby Shantz is available and rested too. El Brujo! The Witch Doctor! I saw Michael "The Falafel" King as deadly in that role, but I understood why he wanted to become more of a set-up man and eventually to become a starter ($$$). I really don't see Weaver as the guy to fill that multiple inning role. The bullpen really misses the Ian Hamilton from last season and Michael King. Yep. He's doing well for San Diego. But the cost for Soto of course. |

Rafaela chases a 1st pitch slider that nearly bounced outside, 0-1 Swings over a slider near the knees, 0-2 Don't hang a slider inner half, please. Ok, that wasn't a great location, but it didn't exactly hang, it stays inside middle, but had decent drop, and Rafaela swung over for the 3 pitch K, finishing Cousins' outing for tonight. With multiple lefties coming up, the Yanks go to their much-feared power lefty, (  ) Tim Hill. Geeze. |

Verdguo takes a cutter high, ball 1. Fouls off a slider on the inner 3rd, 1-1 Cutter knicks the outside corner, not called, Gets a break, 2-1, 5% on Gameday Doesn't take advantage, chases a curve low, grounds it to Hamilton, throws him out as Grisham goes to 3rd, another RISP fail. 1-8 so far. More to come I'm sure. |

Who did we really bring in with any pedigree as a steady, high-leverage reliever? |

Yoshida takes a sinker on the corner away, 0-1
Gets a sinker inside and below middle middle, lifts a fliner to left, easy play for Soto, inning over.
Top 7, 6-5 Sox.
So let's sum up from the floor, so far.
Yanks got 3 in the 1st, Sox got them right back.
Yansk got 1 in the 2nd, Sox got 2 back
Yanks tied the game in the 5th, Sox got a leadoff HR right back to regain the lead.
At no time have the Sox been intimidated, not even after the two blasts by Soto/Judge.
At no time have the Yanks shown they can hold a lead against them.
3 innings left.

Judge, Wells and Torres for the Yanks vs. Winckowski for the Sox.

Goes with the sinker tailing well inside, Judge backs up and takes, ball 4. Leadoff walk for NY.
Let's see if Judge gets to even 2nd base.
