Yankee Pitching Bailed Out 
Posted on April 20, 2015 at 04:22 AM.
The Yankees won today thanks to the late heroics of Alex Rodriguez who hit a 2-out, 2-run walkoff home run off Koji Uehara to scrape out a win 8-7, in a game they should not have to sweat over. Yet again Yankee pitching struggled late in the game.

After 6 innings of work and only 73 pitches, starter Nathan Eovaldi was sent out to start the seventh. A leadoff homer run and two walk later, he was pulled from the game in favor of Andrew Miller. He was worse. He did not retire any of the 3 batters he faced and allowed 3 more runs to score. Now ahead only 7-6, David Carpenter was sent in with no one out and runners on the corners. 2 hits (a deflected groundball off of Carpenter's leg) and a perfect bunt tied the game and loaded the bases with still no one out. With it looking bleak, Carpenter was able to retire the side without any further damage, 7-7.

Carpenter remained in the game into the ninth. After striking out Castillo, Betts tripled into right center. Jose Ramirez came in to try to keep the game tied, but surrendered a sacrifice fly to put Boston ahead 8-7 going into the bottom of the ninth.

In the bottom of the inning, Beltran was called out strikes, followed by an single to left by Teixeira and a lineout to third by Gregorius before Rodriguez saved the game with his shot just over the 318 sign in the left field corner.

With the win, the Yankees move to 3-2, 1 game behind division leading Baltimore.

Masahiro Tanaka is slated to make his return tomorrow after being cleared by doctors earlier in the day.
