I loved Rudy May when he was with the Yanks the first time. In fact, a young Qwik annoyed John Sterling by calling him to complain that I thought May was underrated. Sterling didn't want to deal with teenagers then, and gave me short shift saying: "Underrrated by who, exactly? Not me." Followed by a quick hangup.

Stanton gets a small break, change clips the bottom of the zone, outer half, not called, 10-20% on Gameday, 1-0 Foul tips a FB at the top, inner 3rd, 1-1 Takes a FB inside, pushing him back, 2-1 Swings over a change going way low, outer half, 2-2 FB inside, pulled foul Change at the bottom, spoiled Dead fish drops way low/away Stanton takes, 3-2 FB on the inside corner above the waist, 92, Stanton beaten clean, K. 2 down. Typical Stanton. Very unproductive since return. Hope it does not take usual 3 weeks to get going.

Moniak takes a sweeper low, then gets jammed by a cutter well inside to short center, Judge comes in and makes a slow-motion diving catch for the 1st out.

May won an ERA title during his second stint with the Yankees.

Cutter at the knees, lined hard down the line, looks like a fair ball, Ump says it's foul, looks like it landed on the erased foul line, but the call stands. Still 3-2.

Nice play by Verdugo on the wet grass to hold him to a single.

Change at the knees, outside middle, Stefanic lines that one fair over 3rd, Verdugo races over, cuts it off, spins and throws quickly, holding Stefanic to a 1 out single.

Schanuel takes a cutter into the top, 0-1 Takes a FB about 6 inches high near middle, 1-1 Takes a FB outside, 2-1 Cutter on the corner away, fouled off Takes his timeout 2-2 FB inside corner spoiled. Comes sidearm, leaves a FB in the drop the bat happy zone down and in, late swing, but he fouls it off. Cutter overthrown high, outside corner, 3-2 Leaves the cutter in a hittable spot below and outside middle, sinking liner to right, Soto hesitates, then comes late, and makes a lunging catch as he falls to the grass. 2 down.
A hard single and two difficult sinking line drive outs for Nestor this inning.

Neto takes a FB in another bad spot, above and outside middle, 0-1 FB at the top, inner half, rifles down 3rd, goes to the corner, again Verdugo gets to it fast, and they keep Stefanic from scoring. For now.
Blake out to try to get Cortes through the inning unscathed.
