Last night was one they should have won but didn't. Despite the Red Sox going up 3-0 over the first three innings, the Yankees managed to score four runs in the eighth and the Red Sox managed to lose 4-3.
As for today, the Red Sox went seven innings without a hit and in the middle of the eighth inning, the score was 4-0 Yankees.
Then they got serious about this game...
They got their first hit in the eighth when Verdugo hit a double out to center.
They scored their first run when Renfro hit a double, driving Verdugo home.
Then things really happened when both Vasquez and Cordero hit singles. The score was not 4-2 Yankees but the Red Sox had runners on first and second and their hottest hitter, Hernandez, coming to the plate.
Hernandez hit a double, driving in Vazquez and moving Cordero to third. This made the score 4-3 Yankees, runners on second & third and no outs.
Next up was Plawecki who hit a bouncer to the short stop. Plawecki was out at first but he drove in Cordero, tying the game 4-4 and moving Hernandez to third.
That was when Bogaerts hit a fly to right that was deep enough to drive Hernandez home and giving the Red Sox a 5-4 lead.
So in one inning, they went from being no-hit and down four runs to having five hits, scoring five runs and taking a one run lead.
Barnes came in to close out the ninth inning. The first two batters went quickly but Stanton managed to hit a single. Then Odor came up and proceeded to hit a infield fly that was caught by Devers, ending the game and giving the Red Sox the win.
It was a hell of a comeback win.
The summer olympics are going on and I have no desire to watch the traditional sports. I'm more of a winter olympics kind of guy but there are some events at the summer olympics that I find entertaining.
Today I watched some table tennis and then some kayaking.
Table tennis is a fast game that requires extreme reactions and kayaking requires immense skill with a apddle and incredible upper-body strength.
Don't get me wrong, they're not curling but they are interesting to watch. Way more interesting than "dressage" or "artistic swimming" but they just don't match the thrill of curling.
Other events I'll watch are baseball, archery, field hockey and some of the shooting events. Skeet shooting is always fascinating to watch.
Time for some dinner and then maybe I'll watch the mens archery prelims. Or Americans Funnist Video's. I don't know yet.
