The New York Yankees finally reached a winning rate of 60%.
The Yankees won the home game against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium on the 24th (Korean time), 6-5 thanks to Anthony Volpi’s walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning of overtime.
The Yankees, who ran 5 consecutive wins, marked 30-20 and reached a win rate of 60%, maintaining 3rd place in the AL East Division. The race against the district’s leading Tampa Bay Race and the runner-up Baltimore was narrowed down to 5 and 2 games, respectively. In the last 10 matches, they showed a good performance with 8 wins and 2 losses.
Rookie shortstop Volfi recorded the final stroke that day, but it couldn’t even go to extra time without Aaron Judge’s home run.
Judge hit a dramatic tying home run in the fourth at-bat after one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the team trailing 4-5. Baltimore hit the finisher Felix Batista with a solo home run with a fastball. The first and second pitches were 100.7 miles and 100 miles, respectively, resulting in strikes and fouls.
However, Judge lightly turned the bat and hit the ball over the left wall at a distance of 403 feet as the splitter drove to the middle with an 87.8 mile third pitch at an unfavorable count.
Judge, who added a home run 4 days after the Cincinnati Reds match on the 20th and recorded his 14th season, rose to the AL joint lead in this category. Texas Rangers’ Aroldis Garcia also passed 14 batted balls.
Judge, who returned from a hip injury on the 10th, hit 2 homers in the Tampa Bay race on the 14th, and until this day, showed his strength by hitting 8 homers in the last 9 games.
With 1 hit in 4 at-bats, 1 RBI, 1 run and 1 walk, Judge recorded a batting average of 0.298 (42 hits in 141 at-bats), 14 homers, 33 RBIs, 32 runs, an on-base percentage of 0.400, a slugging percentage of 0.652, and an OPS of 1.052. Including the NL, he is tied for third in home runs, and ranks first in slugging percentage and OPS. The defending MVP force is being pumped out in earnest.메이저놀이터
The Yankees blocked the top of the 10th inning without a run, and in the bottom of the 10th, Harrison Bader, who led the team from second base, hit a base, and put Isaiah Cainer-Palepa to third base. Willie Calhoun deliberately got a 4th pitch and became 1st and 3rd base, and Volfi kicked Baltimore Baker’s first pitch, a low 96 mph fastball, and blew a fly deep into center fielder, bringing the third base runner home with ease.
Yankees starter Gerrit Cole gave up 5 runs in 5 innings, giving up 6 hits and 3 walks. However, his ERA deteriorated to 2.53 as he already pitched with 5 earned runs for the second time since May.
