Yankees: Luis Severino (4-3, 3.10 ERA) will make his 10th career start on Sunday afternoon, coming off a no-decision at Toronto in which he held the challenging Blue Jays to two runs and three hits over six innings.
Carlos Beltran’s three-run homer off Chris Sale in the third was the difference in Thursday’s 3-2 victory.
“I’m just happy with the way I’m progressing”, Tanaka said through his interpreter.
Let’s be clear here: Severino was not lobbying for the job over Masahiro Tanaka or CC Sabathia or whomever else manager Joe Girardi is considering in the likely event the Yankees host the one-game playoff tightrope walk. “He just continues to be great”. Of the starters who have been with the team all season, the Japanese right-hander leads the Yankees with a 3.38 ERA, 0.987 WHIP and 118 ERA+, showing he has been mostly good this season when healthy. Robertson got the save as the White Sox defeated the Yankees 5-2. “Sometimes the aggressiveness, you’re going to run into a few hits here and there”. Sale is second in the majors in strikeouts this year, trailing only Clayton Kershaw’s 281 for the Dodgers.
“I don’t think we’re there yet”. We’ve seen a lot of odd things happen in this game.
Carrasco (14-11) was trying to pitch Cleveland’s first no-hitter since 1981, when Len Barker threw a flawless game.
“I felt good. It was a good first inning to put the right foot forward, and I thought I was very aggressive in the zone with fastball, slider, change”, Johnson told MLB’s official website. “But you expect him to go to the mound and give you a shot to win”, he said.
As the New York Yankees close in on their first celebration in three years, they know the back end of their bullpen gives them a chance to go deep into October.
The New York Yankees are inching towards the post season as injury issues to their pitching rotation are creating a dilemma. He connected in the third inning for his 18th homer, a line drive that a young boy in the front row of the left-field seats neatly gloved. The left-hander bounced back nicely from a wretched outing at home against the Yankees on July 31, when he yielded eight runs and eight hits in three innings. Betances entered with two on and two outs, but walked Melky Cabrera and Thompson to force home a run before striking out Adam LaRoche. Justin Wilson, Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller each pitched a scoreless inning to seal the win.
Berra, who died Tuesday at 90, was honored during a 10-minute pregame ceremony that included a moment of silence.
New York Yankees’ Jacoby Ellsbury argues with umpire Manny Gonzalez after being called out during the third inning of a baseball game against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, September 24, 2015, in New York. Now, many times when Beltran extends his elbow for a swing, it turns into a big home run for the New York Yankees. Then with one out Gordon Beckham hit another solo home run to make the score 4-2. He ended a nine-game winless skid overall in his last start when he beat the Mets. He often hit 99 miles per hour on the radar gun but struck out only two batters on a day in which his location might not have been pinpoint.
