The Rays entered this Wednesday Night competition with a series win already in hand and a chance to sweep the Yankees, and nearly had one on the backs of Yandy Diaz and Francisco Mejia, but a rain delay and wild pitching (for both sides) in extra innings made this a high scoring affair.
Let’s start with the 10th inning.
Aroldis Chapman got the call in extras and was wild as can be, walking Isaac Paredes and Taylor Walls to load the bases alongside the ghost runner.
Chapman was finding success thus far with his breaking ball, but with two outs on the board, Francisco Mejia then stepped in and was surprisingly swinging away at fastballs.
