It was a good ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel with both Carlos Rodón and Jordan Montgomery racking up double-digit strikeouts while throwing shutout ball. But amazingly, that’s not the story of tonight’s game. This one had a little of everything, from gut-wrenching lows to improbable plays, so let’s jump right into this wild 2-1 Yankees win.
The White Sox squared up balls with alarming frequency, starting with the first batter of the game. Thankfully for Montgomery, it appeared that luck was on his side, as only one fell for a hit. He was aided by two nice running catches by Aaron Judge, who displayed some of the best jumps off the ball this year.
