Luis Guerrero in to pitch the 8th for Boston. 3rd game for them, 2 innings, 2 K's, 0.00 ERA. FB 98-99 half the time. Also has a change 89 and a slider 85.

Rizzo gets a 1-1 change to the knees, lifts a fly to medium deep right center, but Duran gets to it, 1 down.

Are you pronouncing that in-SURE-ance or IN-sure-ance?

Change outside, ball 1 on Abreu. FB above middle at 96, Abreu misses under, 1-1 FB catches a tiny piece of the top of the zone, not called, 1-2% on Gameday so, very marginal, 2-1 Change waist high, outside corner, fouled, 2-2 Takes his timeout. FB in the zone below and outside middle, fouled back. FB waist high, outside corner, blows it by him for the K, inning over. Another good inning for Weaver, and against the heart of the Sox' order. Bottom 8, 5-4 Yanks. 20 pitches for Weaver, striking out the side around Yoshida's single. Rizzo, Volpe and Verdugo for the Yanks in the 8th, looking for an insurance run. Or 4. So who pitches the 9th?

Volpe falls behind 0-2, fouls one off, then takes a thigh high FB down the middle for a ꓘ, 2 down.

Weaver taking on a multi-inning, Mariano Rivera, post-season save!

Verdugo takes a slider down the middle, 0-1 Takes a FB on the corner away, 0-2 Takes a FB outside by 3 inches, called strike 3 anyway, Verdugo argues, and he's right, 0% on Gameday, and not close, really.
Yanks go 1-2-3 on just 9 pitches. Top 9, 5-4 Yanks, and it looks like Weaver will start the 9th, at least. He'll face the Sox 7-8-9, Casas, Story and Rafaela, if he can stay in there. He can be lifted at any time that Boone wants; the 3-man rule doesn't apply to a 2nd inning of pitching.

Are you pronouncing that in-SURE-ance or IN-sure-ance? IN-sure-ance. I'll pronounce it the other way if it'll work better.

FB on the inside corner taken at the knees, 0-1 Change dives low/away, chases, 0-2 FB misses outside, 1-2 Change tails low and away, he doesn't bite this time, 2-2 Fb inside corner thigh high, fouled. FB tails well outside thigh high, ball 3. Change to the low outside corner, fouled, 28th pitch coming for Weaver.
