Takeaway
– It was the night back. The first was Carlos Rodon Which activated from IL for 15 days on Tuesday. Rodon was most effective on the night, putting in six innings while giving up only one run. He was helped by the Nationals’ two-run home run at second base. The Yankees also played amazing defense behind him as there was no whiff of his fastball and a solid eight against Rodon.
Rodon finished throwing 68 runs (41 strikeouts) through six innings, giving up the solo run with six hits and one strikeout. The only drawback is the single shot that was given up Carter Kibum.
was the other return Oswald Peraza who came back with the club and started at third base. He went 0 for 4 including a ground out to end the game.
– Aside from the return of Peraza and Rodon, the Yankees called up Iverson Pereira And he started in left field. On his first at-bat, he again worked from 1-2 walks. He would walk out in his other at-bats to finish his MLB debut 0-for-3 with that walk.
– The Yankees offense struggled again Tuesday. Josiah Gray They went through six innings, one hit, one run as the Yankees were unable to capitalize on the Yankees’ five walks. The only person who got to Gray was Ben Rortvedt. tThe catcher put the Yankees on the board with a third-inning solo shot to tie the game at 1-1. It was Rortvedt’s first hit since August 13 – also at home – and his third hit this month. He finished the 2-for-4 game with a walk.
The rest of the team went 0 for 26 with Aaron Judge Finishing 0-for-4 with three strikes.
With no running support, the Bulls were unable to maintain a tie. Tommy Canley gave up a solo shot to CJ Abrams in the eighth to put Washington back up, 2-1. The HIs changeup remained flat and Abrams sold it to get 345 feet over the right field wall.
