The Yanks are finalizing a dealing for Joey Gallo. Since all deals, particulars are NOT final, nothing more on that for now. It appears as if 5 minor leaguers of the Yanks top 30 are going to Texas, none of the top 13.
The Yanks (53-47, 3rd, 8 1/2 back) nipped Tampa Bay 3-1 last night in ten innings.
Tampa got a run off of Yankees’ starter Nestor Cortes in the fourth inning.
The Yanks tied it in the fifth when Gio Urshela reached on an error, went to third on a Greg Allen double and scored on a SF by D.J. LeMahieu.
In the tenth, the Yanks had that “ghost” runner on second. Greg Allen was HBP, and Aaron Judge singled in a run with Allen going to third. A WP brought in Allen.
With a couple of runners on in the bottom of the tenth, LeMahieu had to make a circus catch to end the game. I don’t know if the ball was lost in the roof, hit one of those dumb catwalks or what, but a scary moment.
With Wilson and Cessa traded, Florial and Abreu back.
