From Manny Randhawa
About three minutes after J.C. Escarra delivered his third hit of the game and drove in a big insurance run in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 5-4 win over the Rockies at Coors Field on Sunday, the sun bathed the field in light for the first time all afternoon.
It had been a gray day to that point, one that included thunder, lightning and a rain delay of one hour and 46 minutes. But in the end, it was sunny for the Yankees as they took two of three from Colorado to open a nine-game road trip following a historically rare loss in the series opener on Friday.
Holy shit, Manny, you can’t work “historically rare loss” into EACH game story! Saturday is was fine, but not Sunday’s game, too.
Anyhow, that was way too tense of a game, but hey, at least they won.
I could barely think of a featured image, so I went with Escarra’s single in the 8th that turned out to be the decisive run. I figured I might as well give Escarra some love.
townies lose but Baltimore wins
