Aroldis Chapman Blows The Save, New York Was Denied The Sweep As Minnesota Salvaged Game Out Of The Series
Arlodis Chapman blew the save, New York was denied the sweep of Minnesota in the three game series.
When?
Last night!
Where?
Minneapolis Minnesota!
Why?
Aroldis Chapman’s fastball was lacking the oomph that makes it special.
Because of that Josh Donaldson launched a game-tying blast over the left-field wall and Nelson Cruz connected for a walk-off two-run shot in the ninth inning, stunning the Yankees with a 7-5 loss.
