Yankees Drop Game 3 vs Rangers 5-2

By -
The Yankees were looking for their 5th win in a row trying to keep their offense as hot as it has been. Masahiro Tanaka started on the bump for the Yankees facing off against the Rangers Colby Lewis.


The Yankees scored first in the top of the 2nd when Carlos Beltran led the inning off with a solo home run putting the Yankees up 1-0. After getting 2 straight outs, the Yankees got 3 straight singles by Didi Gregorius, Stephen Drew, and Jacoby Ellsbury to score another run and make the game 2-0.

Adrian Beltre led the bottom of the inning off with a single, followed by a Mitch Moreland walk. Then Josh Hamilton singled to score Beltre and bring the Rangers within 1. Shin-Soo Choo singled to score Moreland and tie the game up at 2. Then Delino Deshields singled for the Rangers fourth hit of the innings to score Hamilton and take the lead 3-2.

Neither team scored again until the bottom of the 5th when the Rangers extended their lead. Adrian Beltre led off with a single, immediately followed by a Moreland single, moving Beltre to 3rd. Josh Hamilton grounded into a double play, and Beltre scored on the play making the game 4-2.

Chosen Shreve came in to pitch for Tanaka to start the bottom of the 7th. Tanaka finished with 6 innings pitched, 9 hits, 4 earned runs, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Shreve only threw 2 batters getting 1 out and allowing a walk. Caleb Cotham came in to replace him. Beltre then reached on an error by Gregorius putting runners on 1st and 2nd. Then Josh Hamilton singled to score Prince Fielder and make the game 5-2.

Cotham would pitch the rest of the game, 1.2 innings, and shut down the Rangers. He only allowed 2 hits and struck out 4. The Yankees would lose 5-2 and look to take game 4 and win the series on Thursday.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
