Start spreading the news – Yankees went from being shut out swiftly to hitting home runs late in the game to win this one 5-2. It looked like Tanaka’s strong seven inning-effort was going to be wasted but a pair of big solo HR’s in the seventh tied it up. Later, Beltran hit a three-run homer to put the Yanks ahead for good.
Tanaka = Good
So, Tanaka has been good this season. Here’s a little bit of fact nugget from our own Katie Sharp: Tanaka is tied second (10) with Bumgarner for most starts with 2 ER or less allowed in a game.
