New York Was Denied The Sweep, Seattle Won The Finale, Avoided Being Swept By New York
New York won the opening game of the series over Seattle on Tuesday by a score of 12-1!
Where?
Seattle Washington!
Why?
Jameson Taillon put together the best start of his Yankees career, tossing seven innings of one-run ball while collecting a season-high nine strikeouts. He allowed just four hits and one walk in the 101-pitch outing, an encouraging and perhaps necessary performance for a Yanks rotation that had been reeling in the 2-4 homestand leading up to this road trip.
Offensively for New York Giancarlo Stanton started the scoring with a line-drive three-run homer that clanged off the left-field railing with an exit velocity of 115.8 mph, per Statcast, and Voit added to it with a two-run single that knocked Seattle starter Justus Sheffield out of the game after just 1 2/3 innings. Rougned Odor rounded out the proceedings by launching another three-run homer in the eighth, his 12th homer at T-Mobile Park -- which is his most at any ballpark as a visitor.
Luke Voit notched his first career five-hit game. Since returning from the injured list on June 22, Voit had five of his 10 hits go for extra bases (two homers, two doubles, one triple). But on Tuesday night, he used four singles to do most of his damage.

Then New York won the second game by a score of 5-4!
When?
Wednesday night!
Where?
Seattle Washington!
Why?
Domingo German is a member New York’s starting rotation!
The right handed pitcher was scheduled to start last night’s game verses Seattle, oppose Yusei Kikuchi who unlike him is a left handed pitcher.
But that didn’t happen!
Why?
Because Domingo German’s role was reversed because he had to have an emergency root canal!
When?
Wednesday morning!
But Domingo German ended up pitching anyway!
Why?
Because about 12 hours after undergoing that emergency procedure, Germán entered to toss three innings out of the bullpen while Nick Nelson started the game in place of Domingo German but Nick Nelson’s start didn’t last long.
Why?
Because Nick Nelson was unable to get out of the first inning.
Why?
He permitted three walks , a hit batter and a run-scoring wild pitch.
Then reliever Luis Cessa came in pitching three scoreless innings before giving away to Domingo German who struck out five.
Offensively in their 5-4 over Seattle New York was supported by Aaron Judge , Gleyber Torres, Luke Voit!
How?
Aaron Judge crushed a two-run 429-foot shot to left field in the second.
Gleyber Torres , Luke Voit collected runs batted in a three run first inning.
