New York Won The First Two Games Of The Four Game Series While Cleveland Lost The First Two Games Of The Four Game Series In Cleveland Ohio

New York won the first two games of the four game series over Cleveland!

When?

Thursday and Friday!

Where?

Cleveland Ohio!

Why?

Domingo German returned, bounced back in New York’s 6-3 win over Cleveland!

How?

Domingo Germán allowed three runs (two earned) in the first inning. Cesar Hernandez’s sinking liner popped out of Brett Gardner’s glove in left field, Eddie Rosario’s infield hit knocked into Mike Ford at first base and Germán booted Franmil Reyes’ potential double-play ball up the middle.

Domingo German wasn’t the only one to bounce back as the New York offense did as well!

How?

DJ LeMahieu delivered a RBI single in the third, then Torres -- having earned a closed-door chat with manager Aaron Boone after failing to run out a grounder on Wednesday -- pushed two runs home with a third-inning RBI single that also eluded right fielder Josh Naylor for an error.

In the win in the second game of the four series New York won yet again!

This time by a score of 5-3!

Why?

Because pitching and offense led the way again for New York!

When?

Last night in their 5-3 win!

Where?

Cleveland Ohio!

Why?

Jordan Montgomery settled in after having a bumpy 37-pitch first inning, tweaking his mechanics to get his pitches down in the strike zone.

Lucas Luetge relieved Montgomery and dropped a nasty curve that caught Franmil Reyes looking, stranding those runners aboard and protecting the lead. The lefty said that he'd actually missed his spot with the hook, intending to bounce it in the dirt as a chase pitch.

Darren O'Day, Chad Green and closer Aroldis Chapman combined for 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

Down 3-0 after one inning for the second consecutive night, the Yanks tied the game in the second inning as Aaron Hicks and Odor homered off Logan Allen.

Meanwhile,

The first two games of the four game series series didn’t go Cleveland’s way!

Why?

In game one of the four game series

Cleveland’s pitchers struggled to throw strikes and walked nine New York players.

In game two the offense came storming out of the gate to put up three runs, but the offense was nonexistent for the rest of the game, as Cleveland fell, 5-3, to New York on Friday night at Progressive Field. And for the second straight outing, Allen couldn't escape the third inning.

The problem? His fastball.

In his first two starts, Allen struggled to find his footing through the first two innings, but he settled in to go five frames in each outing. When he toed the rubber in Cincinnati last time out, the opposite occurred, as he cruised through the first six batters he faced but gave up five runs (three earned) before recording an out in the third. It was then that he noticed that his fastball velocity started to dip.

He averaged 93.2 mph on his heater through the first two innings, but when he ran into trouble, that average velocity dipped to 91 mph.

Tonight New York and Cleveland are supposed to play game three of the four game series. but could mother nature possibly get in the way?

That is a possibility!

Why?

Because at first pitch which is 6:10pm from Progressive Field it’s cloudy but with a 47% chance of rain and then 51% of showers at 7:00pm.

Cole enters this matchup of aces having made Yankees history through his first four starts. The righty is the only Yankees pitcher to tally 39 or more strikeouts with three or fewer walks through any four-start span.

Shane Bieber comes into the game with a record of 2-1 with an earn run average of 2.45.

Bieber has notched 11 or more strikeouts in each of his first four starts, fanning 48 over that stretch. The last time he went head-to-head with Cole was in Game 1 of the 2020 American League Wild Card Series, in which Bieber allowed seven runs in 4 2/3 innings of a loss.
