So the Yankees were trailing 3-2 in the 9th and managed to get a few runners on. The umpires, for no reason I can see at all, ran the Orioles grounds crew off the field (they were hanging out behind the tarp down the RF line). Less than 2 minutes later it starts to pour down rain, and instead of halting the game because it was fucking monsooning, the umps played on and the Yankees won on a 2 RBI pop up that fell just behind the infield grass because the Orioles had their infield in.
You seem surprised that everything has been going the Yankeesâ way recently.
I am right there with you.
I thought the Yankees were just âwhistling through the graveyardâ. It turns out they were whistling for a whole 'nother reason.
âBall fourâ to Gardner the other day to bring up Judge as the tying run with 2 outs in the 9th the other day was surprising only because it was so completely unsurprising.
Josh James in to try to close it outâŚgives up a leadoff double.
Garcia grounds out 6-3
Wild pitch puts runner at 3B
Lowe grounds out 3U as Calhoun scores to make it 7-2
Strikeout ends it
Astros win 7-2!
Thatâs a quality win. Hats off to Urquidy!
After Tucker rounded the bases after his decisive HR in the 5th inning vs the Angels (3-1), Patrick OâNeal (2:04) cited his output (25th HR, 82 RBI) that - as hoped - muted some of the loss of Springer.
