San Diego, San Diego – Aaron Boone’s mistake, the biggest mistake of his career, could cost the Yankees a shot in the World Series.
To be clear, a lot has gone wrong after the Yankees’ 7-5 defeat in Ray 2 in Game 2 of the American League Division Series at Petco Park. They are not yet complete, with the best-of-five-set bound at 1-all and not with a chance of immediate redemption.
Of course, the Yankees have a bat and plenty of capable starters in the experienced Masahiro Tanaka on Wednesday against solid Charlie Morton. That’s all, when they planned to pitch stud rookie goddess Garcia before handing the ball to J.A. Happ for some part of the left-on-lefty matchups, they envisioned the rays moving forward.
Instead, it flew over Boone’s face, and the Yankees tried to play ketchup all night.

Garcia worked hard through the first inning and gave up a run. And a day after finishing that the club is looking at Garcia to give length, Boone pulled out the old switch-a-ru, which came in the heap.
By the time Happ was done, the 1-1 tie had turned into a 5-1 Kiss lead, and the 17 batters he had reached had reached the base.
Meanwhile, Red Pitcher Tyler Glassno’s ace was better than the previous day’s Black Snail, scoring 10 runs in 10 overs in five overs. Glassno gave up four runs and Tampa Bay Bullpen combined for a four-run innings. Nick Anderson’s scoreless seventh and eighth innings were decisive.
Even two explosions of Giacarlo Stanton could not save Yankee. Stanton has five home runs in four postseason games and it was his first multi-homer game since September.
The Yankees didn’t help much 18 times – the most in nine innings of the game.
They gave hits and his best hitter DJ LamhiAu scored a run at at-bat-bats. Judge Aaron and Luke Watt walked out three times each. The Yankees scored 31 runs in their first three playoff games, the highest period in MLB history.
The Yankees had a meat with CB Bucknor, he played all the game for the strike call where he boiled down to a high strike against ninth-ranked Glaber Torres, which would put the runners first and second on the front pitch. No out against Pete Fairbanks. DJ Lamhiayu scored a run after Clint Frasier and Gary Sanchez took each other fast, and the judge went to the third base to finish it off.
Faced with a better heap first, Joey Wendell, single and then two outs later 9th Hidden Mike Zunino crushed a two-run shot to give the Reds a 3-1 lead. In the third inning, a one-out walk for G-Man Choi before a two-run homer on the field wall in the middle of the manual margot. As he cleared the fence, center fielder Aaron Hicks’ head fell down and his hands went to his knees. It made 5-1 rays.
But Stanton’s second bomb arrived just in time. After Aaron Ron Hicks single-handedly in the middle and White and single, the stent crushed a 458-foot in the left-center area. He jumped on the last row of seats on the second deck and reduced the Yankees’ loss to 5-4.
Adam Tattavino and Jonathan Lasiga did not help. Although Tt Twino pulled the Yankees out of a two-on, two-out jam in the fourth, he walked Wendell, and then Kevin Kiermeyer took him inside with a gut thrown at him on the first pitch Losaiga. La Isiga will also cough up a 4-shot Stein Meadows, who was injured by a wild card, for a 7-4 ray advantage.
In the seventh, the Yankees with two men and no outsiders, the reliever Diego Castillo stopped them.
