Is Andrew Heaney Going To Bounce Back Today When He Starts For New York, Opposes Chris Flexen, Seattle In Bronx New York?
Is Andtrew Heaney going to bounce back today when he starts for New York, opposes Chris Flexen, Seattle in Bronx New York?
Right now I don’t know the answer to that question!
What I do know is that Andrew Heaney is going to be looking to bounce back!
Why?
Because in his inagural start for New York after being traded from the Los Angeles Angels at the July 31st Trade Deadline Andrew Heaney had a rough New York debut!
When?
Monday!
Against who?
Baltimore!
Why?
Andrew Heaney lasted only four innings, leaving the ball over the middle plate too often as the O's played home run derby, starting in the third inning. He was able to get two quick outs that inning, but something odd happened when Cedric Mullins hit a foul ball down the left-field line. It looked like third baseman Rougned Odor had a chance to make the catch, but it dropped foul between Odor and left fielder Joey Gallo.
Then Baltimore made New York pay!
How?
with Mullins and Austin Hays hitting back-to-back home runs to give Baltimore a 2-0 lead. An inning later, the O's stretched it to a 4-0 lead, thanks to home runs by Ryan Mountcastle and Ramón Urías. Heaney is the first pitcher in Yanks history to allow four homers in his debut with the team.
Andrew Heaney had this to say about his inaugural start with New York!
I wasn’t quite as aggressive with some pitches whenever I was falling behind,” Heaney said. “I usually say solo homers don’t beat you. But you give up four of them in four innings, that’s probably going to [beat you]. It’s frustrating to put the team in a hole like that, nor really give us a chance to win there.”

Scott Servais who is the manager of Seattle had this to say about Brett Gardner!
Gardner, really, he's a little pesky pain in the butt is what he is Seattle manger Scott Servais said. "He's hard to get out. Late in the game, he knows he's got a small strike zone."

Seattle who is a member of the American League West comes into the game with a record of 58-53!
Why?
Because they lost last night to New York by a score of 3-2!
Why?
Seattle right-hander Keynan Middleton gave up a two-out walk-off single to Brett Gardner in the 11th inning that plated automatic runner Joey Gallo and sent Frank Sinatra over the loudspeakers, Yankees fans into a frenzy and the Mariners back to a clubhouse with a sour taste of defeat on a night they couldn’t quite shut the door.
