Hey!
I forgot the 3 stars...HM to the entire pen. No real high-leverage situations, but a solid 3 2/3 innings in relief of Rodon, except maybe Leiter, who got in big trouble but got lucky to get out of it on back to back at-em line drives. Not nearly as "dominant" as he was with the Cubs. Not yet, anyway. Volpe with a 2-run HR that made it 6-1 and a RBI single. Wells keeping his hot streak going with 2 more hits, a great at bat for a long walk, and an RBI, and doing this playing in the heat, a day game after a night game. Tough "kid".
3rd star of the game: Grisham for his 2-run HR in the 2nd, adding insurance runs, and giving his starting pitcher more room to work with.
2nd star of the game: Rodon, working hard in the heat, 100 pitches, throwing FBs at 97-8 consistently by the Jays lesser hitters. Minor deduction for talking Boone out of pulling him vs. Guerrero, who owns him. Like the toughness but not the judgment. 5-run lead in August and all, but I'd have pulled him, and he wound up lining a 100-mph FB for a double over 1st anyway. 3rd straight win for Rodon after getting punched around for 6 starts. Not a Quality Start, but a start of decent quality.
1st star of the game: Judge for oh...the usual great game. 2-run HR off Berrios in the 1st to give the Yanks the lead. Two walks, one leading to a run scored on Volpe's single in the 7th. Single in the 8th, setting up Wells for his RBI single in the 8th. Who says Judge can't DH?
