Yankeemetrics: Flyin’ high, crash landing (April 22-25)

April 22: Gio The Great
In our first #YankeesAfterDark matchup of the season, the Yankees outlasted the Angels in a bizarre 14-inning marathon to win 4-3. If you like weird baseball and fun obscure stats, this was a gem.

  • Third time the Yankees have won a game in 14-plus innings against the Angels, with the others being on August 27, 1976 (Catfish Hunter pitched 13 shutout innings!) and June 6, 1964 (Jim Bouton pitched 13 shutout innings!).
  • First time in franchise history the Yankees won a game of that went at least 14 innings with only five hits or fewer.
