Slow Torres

I did not realize that Gleyber Torres ran slowly. He once again led off a game by reaching first, this time on a single. Then Juan Soto hit a ball into the outfield that split the right and center fielders and rolled quickly to the wall. Once the ball split the outfielders, I thought Torres should score easily, but he was thrown out by a hand. He may have needed to hold up for a second as he thought the line drive might be caught, but the replay showed he just doesn’t run that fast.

The Yankees have the bases loaded with two out after two hit by pitches, but they have yet to score in the first inning.

Update: Anthony Rizzo flies out to end the inning.

And to Cleveland’s credit, the throw from the outfield and the relay throw were both perfect.
