Verdugo fouls off a change on the corner away, 0-1 Swings over a change low in the zone, 0-2 FB at the top, near middle, spoiled. Takes the slider well low near middle, 1-2 Change tails outside early enough for Verdugo to lay off, 2-2 Looks in, then steps off, looking Cabrera back to 2nd. Chases a change below the outer 3rd, rolled over to Vaughn at 1st, makes the short toss to Cannon, inning over.
Bottom 4, 2-0 Yanks. 17 pitches for Cannon in the 4th, 74 through 4. Top of the order for the White Sox in the 5th, Sosa, Robert and Benintendi.
Soto's 31st HR: 103.9 moh, 362 feet, 30° launch angle, a HR in 16 of 30 parks.

Sosa... Slider misses outside at the top, 1-0 Change misses high above the middle, 2-0 Fb just below the top, in the middle, fouled, 2-1 Bad cutter below middle, missed, fouled back to the right, 2-2. Command off so far this inning. Cutter in the middle, below the top, ties him up just enough, so that the fliner to medium deep right center is an easy play for Judge, 1 down.

Benintendi... Takes a FB in the zone low/away, 0-1 Pulls the cutter well outside and a bit low, 1-1 Humps up to 94, but leaves the FB outside middle, and he's late and under, fouls it off to the left, 1-2 Waist high FB about 3 inches outside, goes with it, line drive to center is a single, breaking up the perfect game and no-hitter.

1st time from the stretch tonight for Nestor. Vaughn takes a change bounced over home. FB inner 3rd, ties him up a bit, fly ball near the line in right, Soto moves left and in a bit, catches just in fair territory, inning over.
Welp, perfecto over, but maybe that's better. Still a short inning for Nestor, just 14 pitches and 57 through 4. Top 5, 2-0 Yanks. Soto, Judge and Wells for the Yanks in the 5th.
9-3 bottom 9 in Baltimore, O's have 1st and 2nd with 2 down and 1 run in.

Soto shows bunt, pulls back on a slider well outside, ball 1. Takes a change diving well low and outside, 2-0 Change about a foot outside, ball 3 Takes his timeout. Doubt he gets a FB in the zone here.

And it was a cutter that barely clipped the corner away, 10% on Gameday, 3-1 Another cutter in almost the same spot, maybe an inch or two closer to Soto, driven again to left center, and it gets well out for his 32nd HR, 2nd of the game, solo HR makes it 3-0, Yanks!!!

Soto's a one man wrecking crew tonight.

Judge takes a sinker well low, 1-0 Takes a cutter that looked likw a sinker on the inside corner, not sure Statcast is identifying Cannon's pitches correctly right now. Change misses low, inner 3rd, 2-1 Guesses FB gets the change diving well inside, fouls it back, 2-2 Judge guesses inside, waves at a FB 3-4 inches outside, swung inside it for the K, 1 down.

For those of us who follow the Yanks minor leaguers, it was good to see Andres Chapparo get his first major league hit for the Nationals.

Wells takes a cutter way outside, ball 1. Takes a sinker at the bottom of the zone, outside middle, 1-1 Change starts outside, easy take as it misses by plenty, 2-1 Much better two plane change dives near the corner low/away, again Wells swing over and misses, 2-2 Fb up in the zone near middle, Wells just gets under it, flies out to Robert in medium-deep right center, 2 down.
