Another day, another Yankee game that inexplicably cannot be seen anywhere on TV. No matter, armed with a radio broadcast and a Statcast feed, we can still follow the events, and today, the Yankees tripped ahead of the finish line, blowing a late lead in a 6-5 loss to the Tigers.
The headline is Deivi García’s excellent performance. He faced the minimum across three innings, as a pair of softly struck singles were erased with two double plays. His fastball clocked in noticeably harder compared to last season, touching 95 mph and sitting 93-94, and he generated a handful of swings and misses en route to five strikeouts.
