With Nationals runners on first and third base and no outs in the bottom of the sixth inning Monday night, it seemed like the Yankees’ one-run lead would soon be gone. That was until Jonathan Holder entered.
Holder replaced starter Sonny Gray and struck out Mark Reynolds. The Nationals tried to create offense by pinch-hitting Daniel Murphy, but he also struck out. Pedro Severino then popped out, as Holder escaped the frame. Yankees manager Aaron Boone admitted he was hoping at best for the Nationals to score only one run.
