The New York Yankees split a four-game series against Philadelphia Phillies this week, falling in the final game Thursday evening 5-4. With Aaron Boone sitting Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu, he decided to insert them into the lineup with the team’s final at-bats of the game. While Judge struck out, LeMahieu managed to get on base with two strikes on the board and representing the final out. Mike Tauchman, who was up next, singled to right field, giving the Yankees a glimmer of hope in what was a lost game earlier on. Luke Voit, one of the Yankees’ top sluggers, nearly missed a three-run homer to take the lead.
