Williamson, Giants beat Yanks 2-1 in 12 innings, stop skid
The Yankees may be rumored sellers at the trade deadline, but NY moved to 4-1 since the All-Star break after using a late-inning comeback Friday to beat Madison Bumgarner and NL West-leading Giants 3-2. During one three-inning stretch, seven runners reached base against Masahiro Tanaka and none scored.

Crawford committed three errors for the first time in his career, making a wild toss in the eighth inning that gave NY a 3-2 win and sent San Francisco to its season-worst sixth straight loss. “It’s a tough call, but you want to make sure that you have that opportunity”. “I just hope we can win a game!”
Nova allowed just one run in seven innings, striking out seven Giants.
It s pretty clear that more is going on with Joe Panik than not feeling right at the plate. We wanted to get him out there as soon as he could. Gregor Blanco’s fingertips skimmed over the top of the dish in the third inning when he tried to score on Angel Pagan’s fly ball to medium right field. The Giants immediately scratched a run across against Dellin Betances, scoring on a Jarrett Parker walk, Denard Span double and a wild pitch.
A double by Giants pinch-hitter Mac Williamson off Andrew Miller (6-1) tied it in the eighth. For the most part, the back end of the Yankees’ bullpen has been automatic in putting up zeros. The Giants have won the World Series in the last 3 odd-numbered seasons (2010, 2012 and 2014), and they look like they’re setting themselves up well for a 4th, having come into last night’s game 57-38.
“If you dwell on the negatives, all that does is compound the damage”, Bruce Bochy said.
NY went ahead in the fourth after Didi Gregorius reached on an infield single leading off. Mark Teixeira, in a 1-for-15 slide and dropped to seventh in the batting order for only the third time since 2004, singled to right.
TORONTO (AP) – Nelson Cruz hit his ninth career grand slam and added a three-run shot, and Hisashi Iwakuma pitched six innings to win his fifth straight start in Seattle’s victory over Toronto. But the rocket throw over to first was high, and it popped out of Brandon Belt’s glove and squirted away. He didn’t get right under it, but stayed back a little and then rushed to it at the last second to create momentum for a throw home.
Instead, Chapman threw another 36 Saturday, which not only highlights just how badly Girardi was hunting for a victory, but guarantees the Yankees’ bullpen will be short today. “I felt more comfortable taking it myself”.
A spirited crowd of 45,304 also included lots of Giants fans, and the rival rooters spent much of the game loudly cheering, often at the same time. In the seventh, his throw to first on Carlos Beltran’s single sailed into the camera well. There was a truce when a marriage proposal was shown on the scoreboard in-between innings – he wore a Giants hat, she wore a Yankees cap and said yes to a ring. Brandon Crawford is right there as well on 90 hits with 39 runs, nine homers and 61 RBI. Pagan paid it forward for Sergio Romo in the eighth, when he laid out to catch Starlin Castro’s line drive and threw to first base to double off Brian McCann. Castro is 14 for 27 (.519) lifetime against the star lefty. The Giants are the kind of team that will make you pay for your mistakes.
Up next: Jeff Samardzija (9-5, 4.05) faces right-hander Ivan Nova (7-5, 4.92).
Trevor Story hit a two-run homer in Colorado’s win over the Braves.

Phillies 4, Pirates 0: Zach Eflin pitched his first major league shutout in his eighth start, and Philadelphia beat Pittsburgh. He is 0-1 with a 6.92 ERA versus NY and has labored in interleague play with a 3-9 record and 5.28 ERA.
