The Orioles have a chance to win the four-game series at Yankee Stadium with a victory Sunday, and for the life of me, I don’t know how they’ve won two of the first three games and were still in possible sweep mode until the sixth inning Saturday.

Sabathia is sidelined by a right hip strain suffered in Friday’s 7-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the term is “very concerned” about Drury, especially since the cause of his blurry vision is unknown at this time. “Right now we’re just going to support him and feel for him [for] what he’s going through”.
– Judge jumped at the wall and took away a homer from Joseph for the final out of the 13th – in almost the exact spot where he robbed Cleveland’s Francisco Lindor in Game 3 of last year’s AL Division Series.
The Yankees placed starting pitcher CC Sabathia on the 10-day disabled list Saturday, one day after he left a game against the Baltimore Orioles early due to a hip injury.
Richard Bleier, who worked 1.2 innings following Kevin Gausman on April 6, was able get a double play ball by Ronald Torreyes to end the sixth after Tillman left.
Montgomery doesn’t get a lot of ink but I think he is the better choice on the mound and the NY bats should do the rest… “I actually got a good night’s sleep, but it did come quick”. I think that’s a big part of baseball is picking up the bullpen when they’re down.
None of these latest injuries appear at this time to be all that serious.
The over is 4-0 in Wright Jr.’s last 4 road starts, 5-0 in his last 5 starts following a team loss in their previous game, 8-1-1 in his last 10 starts overall and 7-1-1 in his last nine starts on grass.
“It’s easy to go home and go to sleep if you win but if you lose a game like that it makes it somewhat more hard”, Gardner said. “But we stayed engaged. I thought our guys had done it flawless”. “Just making some mistakes that he needs to graduate from”.
A quality six innings from Sonny Gray (three runs, 86 pitches) also was fully needed and appreciated after seven relievers were deployed one night earlier. He comes in with no record, a 1.80 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP, four walks and four strikeouts so far this season.
The last four hitters in the Yankees’ lineup – Andujar, Peterson, Romine and Torreyes – accounted for six of the team’s 11 hits and three of its runs. NY had to use 20 players in all – reliever Adam Warren was the only non-starting pitcher left. The over’s hit in two of those games, as opposed to three which went under the total. The right-handed Tillman started 19 games previous year and finished the season 1-7 overall with a 7.84 ERA and a 1.89 WHIP.
Drury agreed the time away would be a good thing. I’m hoping he’s a little better next time.
Boone said Saturday that he he just learned of Drury’s blurred vision, but he acknowledged that the infielder told him Saturday morning that it had been plaguing him for years. Neither pitcher has been great at that, but I will trust Gray more than Tillman in this case. Manager Joe Maddon said Rizzo was feeling better but he didn’t want to rush it. “I was fortunate to run it down and make the play”.

“I was like, ‘Look, I’ll take the fine if I need to, but I’m not going to put myself at risk and I’m not going to put the team at risk of me having exactly what happened happen, ‘” Bauer said.
