Trailing 6-2 in the eighth inning with two outs, the Yankees loaded the bases with the next three batters. Estevan Florial then delivered a clutch single that scored two runs, cutting the deficit to just two.
A wild pitch to Danny Espinosa in the next at-bat scored Tyler Wade from third. Florial was able to advance from first to third on the wild pitch, putting himself 90 feet closer to tying the game.
Now 6-5, Espinosa had the tying run at third with two outs. He struck out, but the ball slipped by the catcher to the backstop, allowing Florial to score and Espinosa to reach first base.
