Game Recap-
-With Hicks 5th bomb in t/last 7 games; t/Yanx now have 5 players with 15 HR's.
-Higashioka with his 2nd big league hit, both Hr's. (Last Yankee 2 do so- Soriano)
-Stanton 20th Hr on t/year; and: .359 B'Avg/ 5 Hr's/ 14 Rbi's/ 1.029 Ops over t/last 20 gms.
-Andujar with another XBH dbl.
Yanx score 2 runs without a Hr, or a single base hit in t/3rd, 5 Yanx walk, Stanton lines out to LF, DD K's, and Walker kills a bases loaded rally. Sloppy game by Atlanta's Pitching 8 BB's.
Germán, as much as I want to like this guy; I can't help but think without the run support he gets, he'd be in trouble. Nice K rate, opp-bavg, yada yada, but 13 Hr's already this yr, 2 tonight. A 5.37 Era- Tonight 4.1 IP.
Not only is the trend in hitting long balls; also in bullpens throwing more innings than SP's; tho' I've got to verify stats. Seems last yrs Yanx and Bums did as much i.e. RP vs SP # of IP. Not sure at this burned out moment, sayonara.-
Cole gets the win with 1.2 IP, 4 K's, 1 Hit, 0 BB - 0 R.
Warren looked exhausted giving up 4 hits, a bomb & 2 Earned runs
Shreve comes in a make or break situation, 2 on base by Warren, and doesn't shit the bed for a change, getting 1 K, and a groundout to close the 8th. Twice he's not allowed a run to score in t/last 8 games; but he's got a long long haul b4 he's gonna earn my trust.
Chapman actually retired the side without one single incident, 1-2-3..
