Game 135: Cardinals (Fedde) at Yankees (Stroman)

Arenado gets a sinker in the knees in the middle, hits a sinking fliner to center, Judge runs in and to his left, catches, not too difficult, inning over.

Bottom 1, 0-0
11 pitch 1-2-3, pretty easy after the 7 pitch K of Wynn, for Stroman in the 1st.

Torres leads off...
Sinker above middle, fouled off, 0-1
Cutter near where the sinker went, taken for strike 2.
Slider hangs way outside and high, 1-2
Slider well outside, above the waist, 2-2
Sinker about 3-4 inches high in the middle, Torres chases, misses under, K, 1 down.

Let's see if Soto can bust out of his mini-slump.

Soto shows bunt, takes a sinker outside, 1-0
Cutter in the zone above the knees, inside middle, taken, 1-1
Starts after a cutter high, checks in time, 3rd base ump says no swing, 2-1
Sinker up and in jams him a bit, but he muscles a looping liner over 2nd into right center for a 1 out single.

Hopefully that single gets Soto going again.

Fedde backs a sinker onto the corner away, 0-1.
Judge takes a sinker about 4 inches outside, called strike 2 anyway. Not close, Judge got a very bad call on that one. 0-2.
Takes his timeout.
Slider well low and outside, taken, 1-2
Sinker below middle, Judge swings INSIDe of it for the K. Weird because it was in the middle, and he missed inside of it rather than over or under. K, 2 down.

Wells misses a sinker on the corner away, 0-1
Takes a change well low in the middle, 1-1
Takes a cutter low, outer half, 2-1
Soto goes, and Wells gets a cutter near middle, fouls it off. Don't blame him for not taking, that was mashable.
Sinker tails outside, Wells tops it to the left of 2nd, Wynn gloves near the bag, and beats Soto to 2nd for the 3rd out.

Top 2, 0-0.
18 pitches for Fedde in the 1st.
Donovan, Goldschmidt and Nootbaar for the Cards in the 2nd.
