Yankees: LHP Nestor Cortes is expected to be placed on the injured list Monday or Tuesday due to a shoulder issue. “They know I have a good fastball so I have to have my other pitches working as well.” Been working on my slider a lot lately.,' said Miller, who threw 86 pitches, including 39 sliders. Miller retired seven straight between the third and fifth innings before Volpe lined a base hit to center field with two out in the fifth. Miller - the 29th overall pick in the 2020 amateur draft - looked like he might have a short outing after throwing 27 pitches in the first inning. He is four homers away from 300 for his career. Martinez has 20 homers against the Yankees, his third-most against any club. It was his 10th homer in the last 21 games. Martinez evened it in the bottom of the inning with a solo shot to left-center. “We've got a lot of confidence,” said Volpe after the Yankees took four of six on the road trip. It was Volpe’s ninth homer, which is second among AL rookies. He extended the lead by driving Caleb Ferguson’s fastball over the wall in left-center in the ninth. Volpe had two hits after being mired in a 3-for-38 slump his last 11 games. “There were a lot of things we did as far as giving away a couple bases on the defensive side.” “I don't think they had a chance on both balls. Good job by the base runners there,” Boone said.ĭodgers manager Dave Roberts said both balls could not have been placed any better by the Yankees' batters. “It not being hit well helps when the fielders have to move a little. Oswaldo Cabrera drove in Anthony Rizzo with the go-ahead run with a slow roller that second baseman Miguel Vargas could only throw to first. Jake Bauers - who was playing right field in place of Judge - scored the game's first run in the seventh on Kyle Higashioka's broken-bat grounder to short.īauers got aboard with a base hit then advanced to third when Brusdar Graterol threw the ball away on Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s bunt.Īfter Martinez's homer, the Yankees retook the lead in the eighth against Evan Phillips (1-1). The right-hander has limited opponents to one run or fewer in four of his last six starts. Germán went 6 2/3 innings and allowed one run and four hits, including Martinez’s solo shot to tie it at 1-all in the seventh. The 24-year old right-hander struck out seven and walked two in his third start. The right-handers matched zeroes as the teams combined for only four hits in the first six innings.ĭodgers’ rookie Miller allowed only one hit in his six innings, becoming the first Dodgers’ pitcher since at least 1901 to allow one hit or fewer within his first three big league starts.
