At times, this game felt like one neither team wanted to win. The Yankees made some questionable pitching decisions, the Phillies played bad defense, but at the end, the Yankees won 6-5 in extras, thanks to Clutch Hitter Ryan LaMarre’s walk-off single.
Gleyber Torres got the Yankees on the board in the fourth inning with a solo shot to right center, a barrel that came off the bat at 101 mph. It’s worth remarking on that every time it happens, since so much of Gleyber’s trouble this season has been making terrible contact. Whenever you’re in the bottom ten percent of Statcast’s metrics, you need to shape up quickly, and Torres has done that over the past few weeks.
