Restarting a game a month after it originally started was always going to lead to some weird situations. The Yankees’ starting pitcher and first baseman from this game are hurt and in AAA, respectively. The announcers on YES talked that game even having a little bit of a feel of a spring training game. It obviously does counts in the standings, but it was a weird little game.
As he was the last time these two teams met, Juan Soto was the star. Playing in a game that started prior to his major league debut, the Nats’ rookie added another home run to his tally, and that was the only real offense that happened in this abbreviated half-game.
