ahead in the first one- nothing J Carlo went 0 for three yesterday smacked on the ground to Second fielded by her he'll throw him out to end the inning end of a half inning as the Yankees won the Cubs nothing well there he is Clark Schmidt out on the mound going through his warm-up tosses the Yankees happy to have him back last time we saw him on a big league Mound was May 26th he had a right lat strain and a 32 to half off the outside edge and there you go yeah it's that ability really knows the strike zone and he can do damage from the leadoff spot too so he immediately puts the pitcher in a little bit of a defensive posture 3-1 swinging a roll a second base Torres has it goes to Second for one vulpi won't make the throw to first the throw to Second was low by Torres so they get the force out and swing and a miss there's a strike out we talked about two away first strike out of the afternoon Wells wants the pitch off the plate but eclips the outside corner with a cutter swinging a Miss pitch chopped on the ground to second base Torres is right there throws to First and it's in time Bellinger retired and the inning is over Assad has been very consistent for Chicago's rotation and that one to the outside corner he paints The Edge it's a strike out his third one away yeah second one looking he got vpy with a cutter that was out of the Zone here's the two seamer that works its way back to the outside corner see real good movement there Fly ball off the bat of sto into Right Center playable for pro Armstrong right alongside Bellinger Pete makes the catch and that's out

knees gets up and fires to Rizo Al rookies this season wins above replacement Austin Wells with 3.4 right behind the Orioles Colton cowser lined into right field it is a base hit for Wells Austin Wells runs well for a catcher but he had one of the catcher biggest fear right there line drive to right field and thinking maybe Bellinger is going to come up and throw to first base popped up Beth Court got a late start wisdom over there it'll be Christian to make the catch St retire in the air left field half is there quickly fir it back in ground ball to Second fielded by Herer lob toss to First In Time retires Rizzo the Yankees don't score leave one middle of the fourth inning next pitch is in there four strike to the Lefty Bellinger line drive by Bellinger into center field a base hit it's a one- out single for Cody Cubs Trail by a run in the fourth and the batter nio Horner chop to Chism one not in time on the return so Herer reaches on the field with choice and that'll bring up Swanson Herer goes pitches High throw to Second got him the tag by Torres good throw by Wells strong throw by Austin Wells and the inning comes to a close verdugo's last 12 games 15 for 45 and he takes four straight out of the zone to work a walk as the dangerous part of this Yankee lineup comes to hit Fly ball B center field Crow Armstrong puts it away throw to first they got him a double play they doubled up Verdugo but how does Alex Verdugo get doubled off here I mean this is a routine flyball to Center you're not going anywhere you see he's almost at second base and no reason to be there it's a routine play you're not going to challenge it I mean you're taught to go halfway on a routine Fly ball he was more like three qus of the way towards second he might get bailed out by the replay at review the call in the field is overturned the runner is safe New York will retain their that's a huge sigh of relief for fugo and now it's Pete Crow Armstrong with one out and the base is empty and a line drive and a base hit into right field wasting no time as PCA jumped on that first pitch and yeah this is what the Cubs needed be Crow Armstrong on base should to get a little something going here in the running game there he goes pitches High throw a second got him only the second time he has been thrown out trying to steal it back Crow Armstrong a perfect pitch to throw on Wells gets rid of it as quick as you can and the throw is right on the money wisdom waights here comes the payoff pitch and a pop fly hit to right angling toward the line stto near the wall and he dropped it can't make the play wisdom on his way to third base and he's slides in safely that's the ball going down the right field line and stto is saying the ball was interfered with and I don't think anybody interfered with this ball I just think stto lost track of it in the shadow going next to the wall and and it's going to be a triple for Patrick wisdom all right so Cortez against bethan Court High popup Chism and foul territory here comes vuli vulpi makes the play in foul ground and there is the third out here in the fifth inning so three and one on Judge 76 pitches for Assad and there's ball four so Aaron Works a walk to start off the sixth inning one two is a c strike three on the inside corner Wells caught looking one away one to nothing New York sixth inning in the batter now John Carlos Stanton the side of two two in the air well struck out toward right field B back and he makes the catch good read jump and catch by Cody Bellinger just not an easy Play here's Jazz Chisum Jr ground it up the middle and Diving stop by her he'll have no play so judge goes to Second infield hit for Chisum Drew Smiley veteran left-hander 43rd game he will face Anthony Rizzo 35 years old runners go throw a third it gets past wisdom and goes into left field judge will score moving to third is Chisum it's a double steal and an E2 and a two nothing ykee lead well Aaron judge and Chisum did not waste any time first pitch from Drew Smiley they were on the Move bethan court has a cannon behind the plate but that throw is a little bit wide wisdom can't knock it down and the Yankees steal a run run in the first run in the sixth it's held up so far we go to the bottom of the ninth n still out there two nothing game really need to challenge Strike Zone here aheading the
