Game 139: Yankees (Rodon) at Rangers (Heaney) 8:05pm EDT

If I'm facing the Yankees in October, I'm throwing nothing but lefties at them. It's ridiculous.

Trevino fouls off a change on the corner away, 0-1
Swings over a change at the low outside corner, 0-2
Takes his timeout.
FB misses inside, taken, 1-2
Slider was supposed to be down and in, but he left that one hanging a bit in the zone, and Trevino pulled it through the 56 hole for the Yanks' 2nd hit, a 1-out single.

Verdugo takes a FB on the outer 3rd, 0-1
Slider breaks to the inside corner, and Verdugo bounces it to the right side, Semien there, goes to 2nd for the force, and the relay barely beats Verdugo for the inning-ending DP. Close at 1st, but they got him, and the Yanks don't waste their challenge.
Bottom 5, 1-0 Rangers.
13 pitches for Heaney in the 5th, 77 through 5.
7-8-9 for the Rangers in their half of the 5th: Duran, Kelly and Ornelas

Especially when Boone keeps putting DJ in the lineup against them, while keeping Verdugo in there too. 

DJ takes a Fb on the outside corner, 0-1
Swings under a FB well high, 1-1
FB waist high, outer 3rd, lined to right for a hit, Verdugo doesn't challenge, but Garcia shows off the arm, throwing to 3rd on the fly.

1st and 2nd, 2 down for Torres.
Tries to be a hero on the 1st pitch, swings over a change going low in the middle, tried to belt it, 0-1
Takes a change that got a tiny piece of the low inside corner, but not called because it kept moving inside, <5% on Gameday.
Takes a FB inside, 2-1
Curve at the knees, tapped to Lowe, flips to Heaney, inning over.

NOW, it's bottom 5, 1-0 Rangers.
The extra out forces Heaney to throw 7 more pitches and he's now at 84 through 5.
And NOW, it's 7-8-9, Duran, Kelly and Ornelas for the Rangers in their 5th.

Duran takes a curve low.
Fouls a FB down and in, hard off his shin. Ump gives him dome time. He's back in the box.
FB above the waist, outer half, misses under, flies out to fairly deep right of center, 1 down.
