With the win, the Yankees find themselves tied with the Blue Jays - who swept a doubleheader against the Orioles - for the second Wild Card Spot, still a game behind Boston, who took down the White Sox. Davis, but with an assist from Higashioka, managed to retire the next two batters to preserve the 8-7 victory. He surrendered a one-put double to pinch-hitter J.D. Thankfully, he got Alonso to fly out deep to center, ending the inning.Īroldis Chapman came on in the ninth to close it out and Yankees Universe collectively held its breath. It’s never easy with these Yankees though, and he walked the next two batters he faced. However, a weird hop delayed the throw from Lindor to Báez, and a good, hard slide by Torres at second caused Báez to sail his throw to first, allowing Andrew Velazquez - pinch-running for Stanton - to score from second and put the Yankees in front, 8-7.Īlbert Abreu came in for the eighth and induced two quick groundouts from Guillorme and Villar on eight pitches. Luke Voit pinch-hit in the pitcher’s spot, and appeared to have grounded into an inning-ending double play.

Gardner led off with a line drive single to right that just evaded the shift. The Yankees finally snapped their baserunner-less streak at 16 in the eighth. They extended that lead to 7-5 in the seventh on three straight singles by Báez, McNeil, and Pillar off Clay Holmes. Chad Green came in and promptly gave up a two-run home run to the second batter he faced, as McCann lined an elevated 1-1 fastball just over the wall in left to give the Mets a 6-5 lead.

This start mirrored his first two since returning off the IL. His night was over after a scoreless fourth. Báez sizzled a solo shot down the left field line to reduce the Yankees’ advantage to 5-4. The hard contact off Kluber continued in the third. His command seemed to strengthen as he grew into the outing, and he fanned hitters with each of the four-seamer, slider, and splitter. He struck out seven of the twelve batters faced including five in a row at one point. Walker settled down considerably after his shaky second inning, retiring the side in order in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

He issued a leadoff walk to Javier Báez, who stole second on a Jeff McNeil strikeout. The lead was short-lived, as Kluber’s command began to wane in the bottom of the second. zO66th77d9- New York Yankees September 12, 2021
