What started off as a boring, dull game was soon electrified by a two-out rally in the seventh. Tonight, we had a few great things: Joey Gallo was the hero with two doubles and a go-ahead dinger, Michael Kay cited WAR on the YES broadcast once again, and the Yankees defeated the Mariners, 5-3.
Neither Nestor Cortes nor Tyler Anderson dazzled tonight, yet they kept their opposing offenses under the wraps, for the most part. Cortes’ command was not there. Fans have grown accustomed to the crafty southpaw throwing pitches exactly where he needs to, but it was just was not his night in terms of dotting up:

Even so, Cortes only let in two and kept his ERA at 2.
