Why This Decisive Game Could Make or Break the Yankees’ Season—And No One Saw It Coming
It seems almost improbable, but there are still a lot of things that are still happening for the first time in baseball. With a rich history, and one of the most storied franchises, you’d think everything has already happened, right? Wrong. Yesterday, the Yankees led off the game with back-to-back-to-back home runs. This was the second time they’ve done that THIS SEASON. That’s the first time that’s ever happened where a team has done that twice in a season. Even crazier is that the team had four solo bombs in the first inning alone. The Yankees offense was expected to take a step back from last season, but they seem to be doing just fine. They are second in the league in runs, and first in homers. The pitching staff has done well too, posting a 3.66 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. In tonight’s rubber match, they send out Carlos Carrasco to the mound. He is 2-1 for the season with a 5.26 ERA, and a 1.36 WHIP. Carrasco has been okay for the team, but has allowed eight runs in 8.1 innings. Orioles hitters are batting just .244 against Carrasco.
