After winning the day’s first game on a Gleyber Torres walk-off home run, the Yankees entered game two looking for the doubleheader sweep. Unfortunately, the offense once again couldn’t get much going, and Michael King uncharacteristically blew a Yankees lead to keep the sweep away from New York.
Jordan Montgomery seemed like a prime candidate to keep the Rangers’ offense stymied after Gerrit Cole shut them down, and he was successful to start the first, striking out Marcus Semien and working around an Adolis Garcia single. It looked like Corey Seager had hit into an inning ending double play — YES went to commercial and the Yankees returned to the dugout — but Seager was ruled safe at first upon review.
