Today’s game recap is from Marvzone supporter Dan Marciano, as the Yankees rally behind Gleyber Torres and some clutch pitching out of the bullpen, to seal a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Nationals.
“The Yankees came into the day looking to take the season series from the defending champion Nationals. Early on, Patrick Corbin dominated the Yankee lineup, throwing a perfect game through 3 2/3 innings until Gleyber had the first hit in the 4th. Corbin continued his dominance retiring the next 8 hitters until Gleyber (again!) his a HR in the 7th to cut the nationals lead to 2-1. Nationals manager Dave Martinez pulled Corbin after only 75 pitches. After a Stanton strikeout, Luuuuuuke Voit hit a game tying HR. In the 8th, Pinch Hitter Aaron Hicks led off the inning with a Walk and came around to score on a Gleyber Single to take a 3-2 lead. In the bottom of the 8th, with Khanle on the mound, an error by Gleyber and a double by Adam Eaton set up the Nationals. However, Khanle was able to strike out the next 2 hitters to retire the side. In the 9th Gary threw out a runner at 3rd and Britton closed things out. The Yankees improve to 2-1 and move on to Philly to take on the Phillies.”
