Francisco Lindor was about 10 years old in Puerto Rico at the height of the rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Since Michael Pineda went down July 30th, Sabathia has made three starts before exiting against the Indians Sunday, going 2-1 with a 3.38 ERA in 18 ⅔ innings to go along with 15 strikeouts. But Headley grounded to first for the second out and Allen got Didi Gregorius to fly out to end it for his 24th save. Cleveland had runners at the corners with one out in the third when Michael Brantley hit a hard-hit grounder to first. He walked two and struck out five. The right-hander has been touched for just three runs and seven hits in 131/3 innings since coming back from his second major operation since 2012. He requested a review but did not get it and following a heated argument near the Cleveland dugout, Iassogna tossed Francona.

The pitcher has been on a roll with just three earned runs to his name in his last four starts. The very next at-bat, Ellsbury singled to center and Drew would be gunned out by a mile at home plate as he tried to score from second base. Ehire Adrianza had an RBI single for the Giants.
In the bottom of the first inning Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a single, followed by a two-run homer by Brett Gardner, giving the Yankees a 2-1 lead.

Montero and Soler both lofted balls into the left field basket off former Cub Edwin Jackson (2-2), sending Atlanta to its sixth straight loss. “Obviously, it’s a good sign that we have him on the field to do some stuff, but it’s still not where it needs to be”, manager Joe Girardi said before the game.
