New York Swept Boston In The Doubleheader In Bronx New York Yesterday, Last Night
New York swept Boston in the doubleheader in Bronx New York yesterday, last night!
Why?
Because New York won the opening game of the doubleheader by a score of 5-3!
Why?
In the fifth inning Luke Voit lifted a go-ahead, two-run single into shallow center field. Voit’s bloop hit followed one-out walks by Brett Gardner, Aaron Judge and Joey Gallo as the Red Sox were burned by an ineffective bullpen display, with Garrett Whitlock and Josh Taylor combining to fill the bases.
Giancarlo Stanton came off the bench to lace a 116.2 mph RBI single, extending New York’s lead as it batted around in the frame.
Then Jonathan Loaisiga navigated out of that bases-loaded, no-out jam, inducing a flyout and striking out the next two hitters to seal the Yankees’ 5-3, seven-inning victory over the Red Sox in the first game of a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
In the night game New York won by a score of 2-0!
Why?
Luis Gil who is a rookie pitched around around three hits and four walks over 4 2/3 innings, striking out four.
Offensively Luis Gil was supported by Giancarlo Stanton, Luke Voit who each homered.
To closeout the game Wandy Peralta recorded four huge outs in relief to keep Boston off the scoreboard and set the stage for Chad Green’s save. Peralta relieved Gil in the fifth, induced Rafael Devers to bounce into an inning-ending fielder’s choice.
