Yankees 9 Blue Jace 10
My two favorite people in the world right now are Lourdes Guriel and Theoscar Hernandez. Of course, it is Father’s Day, but these children come in third (tripartite equality).
Lourdes hit the Grand Slam in the sixth, making the run (8-3) back into the ball game.
And Theoscar struck with three runs in the eighth, leading us forward.
The game started well. Vladimir Guerrero hit Homer with two runs in the first inning to give us our first lead since the start of the fourth game of this series.
Then things went wrong.
Yusei Kikuchi passed Aaron Judge and hit Josh Donaldson (Josh was not happy) in the first, but escaped the inning without scoring, assisted by Kirk, who repelled Donaldson in the beginning.
In the second, Gleyber Torres started with a home run. And Usai hit Aaron Hicks, but out and strikeout / throw (Kirk had a day behind the plate).
The third included another walk and Donaldson’s home run (just when Usai seemed to be trusting his fast ball. He slipped out of the fourth without a score.
And Adam Simber started fifth. Adam didn’t have his usual great outing. One walk, single bow, double and another double scored 3 for the Yankees.
Max Castillo entered his first MLB game in the sixth and gave up the home runs of the first two bits he faced. We lost 8-3 and things looked bleak.
But Homers of Lourdes and Theoscar brought us back to the top.
I missed George Springer’s solo Homer in his sixth, first hit of Monday.
But just because we were up with two, it wasn’t over.
Yimi Garcia went through seventh with a pop-up and two outs. He got out to start eighth, and when the Yankees hit Anthony Rizzo, Charlie went to Tim Maisa.
As it turned out, this is a mistake. Rizzo homered, which makes the game a performance. And a single (honestly Vlad dived for it and diverted him from Espinal, who could play quite easily. Vlad was injured in the dive, which made Rogers Stadium the quietest all weekend, but he stayed in the game) and the walk put the binding of Second place.
Jordan Romano enters and stops the runners. The ninth came out (Donaldson), wok (Stanton), takeoff (Torres) and Hicks (single). Tying second and Rizo again.
Jordan made it 3-2 against Rizzo (a few very close calls didn’t work out the way we did, which was part of the weekend story) and I thought maybe I was walking Rizzo. He didn’t, and Rizzo turned to Bo Bischet.
I love Romano very much.
Jace of the day: Romano (.376 WPA, 5 outs), Hernandez (.348) and Guriel (.205). Let’s give Kirk one for .077 and two runners dumped at the bases.
Suckage: Mayza (-.246), Cimber (-.241), Yikuchi (-.121).
I’m currently sacrificing rum to the baseball gods, who didn’t deserve all the nasty things I’ve said about them in the last three days.
