Trio of homers power Yankees over Mets, 4-3, and secure the series win

By -

The Yankees were looking sluggish early in the second game of the Subway Series, but the Baby Bombers powered three home runs to lift the Yankees past the Mets and help German get past his poor first inning of work.

German let the Mets get to him in the first as former-Yankee Todd Frazier crushed a solo-home run to open the scoring. A Brandon Nimmo triple was followed by an Asdrubal Cabrera two-run homer which gave the Mets a three-run lead. It did not appear German would last long, but he limited the damage to just three runs.

Matz looked solid early on, but Torres got to him in the third as he blasted a solo-shot to give the Yankees their first run. He continued to work in and out of some sticky situations, but was a victim of the long ball in the sixth as Miguel Andujar stayed hot and tied the game with a two-run home run.

 German was able to buckle down and throw a quality start, while striking out nine Mets. Robertson came on to pitch a scoreless seventh keeping the game tied.

However, it did not stay this way for long as Judge continued his streak of clutch homers and blasted his 18th of the year to break the 3-3 tie. Betances and Chapman pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings to secure the 4-2 victory and the Subway Series series victory.

Winning Pitcher: David Robertson (5-2, 3.94 ERA)
Losing Pitcher: Anthony Swarzak (0-1, 4.15 ERA)
Save: Aroldis Chapman (17)

Notables:
Domingo German: 6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 9 K
Gleyber Torres: 1-3, 1 HR (11), 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB
Miguel Andujar: 2-4, 1 HR (8), 2 RBI, 1 R
Aaron Judge: 1-4, 1 HR (18), 1 RBI, 1 R

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
