Still, the Yankees took three of four and can tool up to take on Tampa in what might be the biggest series of the season, with the first game coming Friday night at 7:05pm Eastern with Frankie Montas facing Drew Rasmussen. This was a frustrating one, and like most losses this year can be blamed on the lineup disappearing for four or five innings at a time. Isiah Kiner-Falefa bounced out to end the game. The second wasn’t close, and it forces Gleyber to swing at the final pitch.

The first strike was arguable, it looked worse on TV than Statcast had it, but it was borderline. Unfortunately, home-plate umpire Larry Vanover forced Gleyber’s hand with a truly terrible strike two. All Gleyber Torres had to do was get a ball in the air to the outfield, or, honestly, take four pitches from Michael Fulmer, not known as a strike thrower. Of course, Rocco Baldelli, a coward, put Judge on intentionally. Oswald Peraza singled, and Aaron Hicks managed a double into right to put two men in scoring position with one out. It feels like Judge has to be The Guy all the time. It’s a sign of his season, and the state of the roster, that we were all thinking “just get it to Judge.” He’s having the best season by a Yankee since Alex Rodriguez, but even in A-Rod’s best years, 2005 or 2007, the lineup was deep enough that even though Alex was The Guy, he didn’t need to be The Guy every time. That left things up to the ninth inning, with Judge due up fourth. With the score 4-3, runners on the corners and two out, Giancarlo Stanton saw his first action since Monday, a nine-pitch showdown that nevertheless ended in a strikeout, way ahead of a curveball in the dirt. Judge did his best to get the Yankees back in it, leading off the bottom half with a double, moving to third on a groundout, and coming home on a wild pitch that Sánchez couldn’t corral. Nestor’s night was over, and Clarke Schmidt was left to navigate the runner on second with nobody out. Shortly thereafter, Sánchez drove a ball into the gap to make it 2-1. The former Yankee moved to second on what should have been a passed ball, which was darkly amusing given that Gary Sánchez was standing at the plate. He led off the fourth with a single to break up the run of perfection, but of course the pitch count was never going to allow a serious pursuit. Urshela proved to be the bane of Nestor’s existence tonight, though. He only had a couple of strikeouts, but retired all 12 men he saw, including getting Carlos Correa himself on a nifty fielding play - he also struck Correa out in the first inning, to the delight of the Yankee Stadium crowd. Still, despite that, Cortes was terrific, nay, perfect, through four innings. He threw 11 in a sparkling first inning, but our old friend Gio Urshela ate up a chunk of Cortes’ allotted pitches leading off the second, seeing nine.

and I think it’s safe to assume the limit was somewhere around 60. Through the eyes of Calem, STILL THE NIGHT CALL delves into the quickly diminishing world of Midwestern farmers whose livelihoods have become fodder for politicians and trade wars while their traditional values have become the subject of scorn and culture wars. We knew that Nestor Cortes came into the game with a pitch limit, making his first start in 18 days after an IL stint. Tackling intense themes such as suicide rates in men (particularly farmers) and political radicalization, this thought-provoking novel will leave readers grappling with the concepts of social and economic divides in America.The Yankees were ahead 2-0 in the second inning! That was also pretty much all that they did offensively for most of the game! Usually, it’s been Aaron Judge driving the big home run to get the Yankees in business early before the team goes to sleep for a couple of innings, but today, that was Andújar’s job with his first of the season in the majors. In his sophomore novel, "Still the Night Call" Senter delves into the mind of introverted dairy farmer, Calem Dewayne Honeycutt, and the deep-seeded depression he struggles with. After two decades in LA working on Emmy-nominated shows like Desperate Housewives and The L Word, Senter has returned to the setting of his childhood to explore timely topics. Joshua Senter was born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks on his family’s farm.
