Aaron Judge hit a late homer. Before that Paul Goldschmidt had a pinch-hit homer.
Will Warren pitched well, picking up 9 strikeouts.
Luke Weaver struck out the side in the 9th.
Yanks over Mariners 3-2.
The Yankees went 6-3 on this west coast swing. Impressive!
(Gemini AI created the image, I asked it to show, in cartoon style, a Yankee standing over a defeated Seattle Mariner.)
Trust AI to configure home plate backwards.
instead of so much writing about Goldy not being good vs RHP (which is mostly false!!) we could / should change the narrative to talking about how insanely good he is vs LHP
he is starting to get close to OPS+ of 2.000 even in small samples that is RARE
Seattle has good pitching and the games were well worth watching, worth losing a little sleep.
Warren pitched terrific on this trip: 12.1 IP, 3 R, 1 ER, 0.73 ERA, 2 BB, 16 K. That's fantastic from your No. 4 starter.
Hey Paul, this is not our teenage years west coast trip, only 6 games this time, 4-2.
