The Yankees limped into Cincinnati in the wee hours of the morning with the best record in baseball at 20-9, comforted only by the fact that they are not the Cubs who lost an epic 18-inning battle that stretched well into Monday morning for fans on the East Coast.
In a game filled with oddities, Aroldis Chapman did the unthinkable when he blew his first save of the year forcing the game into extra innings. The game also included the following:
****The Cubs used three different starting pitchers as pinch hitters
****Forty-eight batters came to the plate and struck out, a new record for two teams.
