The New York Yankees outlasted the Cleveland Indians in a marathon game that took over six hours to complete from original first-pitch time. Two rain delays and 19 walks slowed the game down to a crawl, but that’s not the storyline from Wednesday’s game. The biggest takeaway from the Yankee victory was Gio Urshela‘s utter dominance.
This was the “Gio Urshela” game.
Down 4-1 in the fourth inning, Urshela launched a grand slam to take the lead. Down 9-8 in the ninth, Urshela stabbed a would-be RBI single and turned it into a double play from heaven.
