The thing about scoring only two runs is that you require every member of the bullpen to be flawless to preserve that tenuous lead. It feels like the offense has consisted of just Aaron Judge plus one randomly chosen player du jour for the last week-plus. And while most of the pitchers excelled in this contest, Clay Holmes blew another save en route to another one-run extra innings walk-off loss, 3-2.
The Yankees looked ready to play from the first pitch. Aaron Judge worked a one-out walk and was driven home on an Anthony Rizzo double down the right field line.
