In New York’s win Jameson Taillion left his start verses Toronto on Tuesday night in Toronto Canada!
When?
At the start of the third inning of last night’s verses Toronto.
Why?
Because he injured his right ankle yet again the same day he came off the injured list after healing from the partial tendon tear to make this start verses Toronto last on Tuesday night.
Jameson Taillion only lasted seven outs before leaving after throwing a 94.8 mph fastball to strike out Toronto catcher Danny Jansen.
Jameson Taillion was replaced by Michael King who who held Toronto to one run and two hits over 2 2/3 innings.
Along with holding Toronto to one run, two hits over 2 2/3 innings Michael King picked up the win!
Offensively Michael King was supported by Aaron Judge who homered, Giancarlo Stanton who homered for the fourth straight game and Gio Urshela who homered.
There was a difference in Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gio Urshela’s homers though!
Why?
Aaron Judge hit one home run, Giancarlo Stanton hit a three run homer while like Gio Urshela like his teammate Aaron Judge hit one home run.
Aaron Boone had this to say about Jameson Taillon’s re-injuring his ankle!
He waved us out, so I figured it had something to do with the injury,”“I could tell right away that he had reaggravated it, so it was a quick decision for me to get him out of there.”
Michael King who replaced Jameson Taillon had this to say!
“I knew Jamo wasn’t built up like a full starter; he wasn’t going to go 100 pitches today,” King said. “I was mentally prepared for it. It is a little weird doing all my warmup throws and getting loose on the actual game field, but I knew I just had to do it.”
Giancarlo Stanton had this to say about his performance!
I always want to succeed in those moments, and I have to prepare myself in all aspects to do so,” Stanton said. “It’s good to be able to come through in those moments and just help us win at the end of the day. That’s what it’s about. If I have four or five opportunities at bat, I can do something good.”
With the win over Toronto in the first game of the three game series New York (90-67) has moved two games ahead of the Red Sox (88-69) and three ahead of the Blue Jays (87-70) in the American League Wild Card chase with five games remaining. But that's not all. The surging Mariners (88-70) are suddenly in the picture, just 2 1/2 behind the Yankees after beating the A's, though Seattle has only four left to play.
“according to articles by Bryan Hoch on mlb.com”
Toronto comes into the game with a record of 87-70, is fourth in the American League East, 10.0 back of Tampa Bay who is leading the division, is on the outside looking in for Wildcard berth.
Why?
Because Toronto currently is fourth in the Wild Card Standings 1.0 game back while Seattle is 0.5 games back of Boston who currently holds the second Wild Card spot though they’ve lost three straight to New York their American League rival over the weekend in Boston Massachusetts before losing the opening game of their three game 2-4 to Baltimore in Baltimore.
Toronto lost the opening game of the three game series to New York last night in Toronto Canada by a score of 7-2.
Why?
Trevor Richards threw Giancarlo Stanton a 2-2 changeup that was below the zone and inside, but the Yankees slugger went down and got it anyways, sending a three-run moonshot to left field in the seventh inning to help hand Toronto a 7-2 loss to New York.
