Yankees fail again, can’t get a hit when they face good pitching. Now they’ll lose 3 straight at home. What a joke. by PARAM 4 years 6 months ago Total posts: 12244 Joined: Jul 15 2015 Just far enough North of Philadelphia Hall of Fame Fully Operational Death Star - All Purpose Yankees Thread POST #297 dieterbrock wrote:Wash, rinse, repeat.

Four hits in the first inning and one from the 2nd through the 8th. Paxton was money. After the top of the first my daughter had the same outlook as you....'here they go again'. But I told her Paxton looked sharp and I don't think he's going to give them any more. He didn't. And though Verlander was money from the 2nd on, they did enough damage in the bottom of the first to win it. Now game 6 is a bullpen game and anything can happen. Put Encarnacion back into the lineup because Stanton looks overmatched. All we can ask now is 'get it to game 7'. A classic pitching duel between Seve and Cole.
