“Just thankful that it’s not any worse than it is and hopefully he’ll be back here doing his thing soon”, left fielder Brett Gardner said Monday. “It would have been a tough one to lose”. “We’ve got to keep it up”. “It got him but it could have got him a lot worse”.
New York opened the 10th with doubles from rookie first baseman Greg Bird and catcher Brian McCann against Glen Perkins (1-3) in a span of five pitches. Lefties have hit. 167 against him this year.
Molitor had successfully used a five-man infield earlier in the season. In the last five seasons, all of these pitchers – and perhaps more – have also been struck in the head by line drives: Juan Nicasio, Brandon McCarthy, Doug Fister, J.A. Happ, Alex Cobb, Aroldis Chapman, Dan Jennings and Carlos Carrasco.
“That’s no excuse anyway”, he said. I grew up watching (goalie) Gump Worsley play hockey here.
“I think anything is possible”, said Anderson. “I didn’t work out that way”. As of now, its unclear how long he will be out.
Mitchell held his face as he crumpled to the ground. He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital for a full evaluation, where it was determined he only suffered a small nasal fracture.
“It seems like your heart just drops into your stomach and you’re scared for the kid and you see blood coming out”. That’s probably two call-ups, but even that might not be enough if the only other available reliever is Wilson, who probably can’t give more than an inning. A former mainstay in the Mets’ rotation, this will be his first start vs. the Yankees since 2011. Miller struck out Sano for the final out of the eighth during a one-run game and pitched a scoreless ninth for his 27th save in 28 opportunities. He exited with two on in the sixth and O’Rourke kept the game tied before faltering in the seventh.
The Minnesota Twins travel to the Big Apple to tangle with the New York Yankees on Monday.
The Twins had a 7-5 lead when Plouffe’s third hit of the night was an RBI single off Justin Wilson. “He probably has somewhat of a concussion from being hit last and he just came off of one”. The Twins attempted to score a second run on the play but Escobar was thrown out at the plate on the relay throw by shortstop Didi Gregorius.
Steve Clevenger smacked a three-run homer and Chris Tillman won his seventh consecutive decision as Baltimore downed the A’s 4-2 to complete a four-game sweep. On Monday night, he was a late addition after C.C. Sabathia’s scheduled start was pushed back a day.
The Yankees will monitor him for the possibility of concussion symptoms. “There’s no point in throwing the ball to first base”.

As the game continued, it became painfully obvious that the Yankees were running out of pitchers in the bullpen.
