Back on April 14th against the Blue Jays, Michael King came into the game in a bit of a jam. Normal Yankees’ closer Aroldis Chapman had one of his games were he has absolutely no idea where the ball is going, as he walked the bases loaded without recording an out in the ninth inning. Leading just 3-0 and now facing the go-ahead run at the plate, Aaron Boone made the move to bring in King.
After recording a strikeout, King and the Yankees’ defense managed a game-ending double play. Despite coming in for a very difficult spot, King not only managed to save the game, but did so without a run scoring.
