Yankees on the Board

Anthony Rizzo of the Yankees homers with one out in the top of the sixth inning for the Yankees first run of the game. Boston leads in the Wild Card game 3-1. Aaron Judge then reaches on an infield hit, and Nathan Eovaldi leaves the game.

Update: Giancarlo Stanton doubles off the wall, but Aaron Judge gets thrown out at the plate. It wasn’t even close. I’ve seen this happen enough to start believing the Yankees have a poor third base coach.

Update: Joey Gallo pops out to end the inning, and a bad coaching call may have cost the Yankees a big inning. It makes one wonder how much of the Yankees poor base running this season was due to poor coaching.

Update: In the bottom of the inning, the Red Sox score a runner from first on a one-out double. Alex Verdugo doubles into the rightfield corner. There was indecision by the Red Sox third base coach, but Xander Bogaerts scores from first to make the lead 4-1 in favor of Boston.
