3 years ago, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge hit a pair of home runs that made a lot of sense to give NYY a 2-0 lead in last night’s game.
In the 2nd inning, Cleveland should have scored multiple runs, but only got one. The next inning, Daniel Schneemann (?!?) tied the game. A Brayan Rocchio solo home run made it 3-2. For the 3rd time this season, a Rocchio home run knocked a pitcher out of the game due to injury. (Or is it that the injury led to the home runs, who’s to say?)
But next came a million more stranded Cleveland baserunners, and a bullpen that kept buying more time to strand more of them.
