The Yankees ended the Jhony Brito experience yesterday on a win, albeit not one due to him, optioning the young right-hander after he allowed four runs in four innings. The offense came to back him up however, led by a 4-for-4 day from Aaron Judge and three RBI from both Judge and Anthony Rizzo. Ben Rortvedt even made his Yankees debut, proving once and for all that he is a real person!
All that action has them at 28-20, solidly near the top of the AL but only in third place in their own division. Thus, we have a wide range of teams to check-in on, so let’s get into it:
Milwaukee Brewers (24-21) 4, Tampa Bay Rays (34-13) 8
Harold Ramirez and Yandy Diaz launched homers in the first and second innings respectively to get the Rays off to a cozy 4-0 lead, and though the Brewers clawed back within one run at a point they couldn’t get enough off of Zach Eflin to make it a game.
