All eyes were on Shohei Ohtani in the lead up to this series, but it was Griffin Canning who stole the show early. His career day largely silenced the Yankees bats, allowing Ohtani to take center stage with a game-tying two-run bomb in the seventh. Their combined effort set the stage for a pinch-hit, walk-off single in the 10th as the Bombers got walked off in extras for the second-straight night, 4-3. They now fittingly find themselves in the AL East basement.
For a player who experienced an up-and-down first half, Canning displayed remarkable command of the gloveside edge of the strike zone, peppering the black with four-seamers and sliders for called strikes.
