Oh man, a televised Yankees game that also went nine innings?! It makes you feel positively spoiled. Joking aside, the Bombers put on a power display, but a middle-inning rally by the Bucs meant the Yankees had to win it all over again in the eighth, 6-5.
Domingo Germán worked a seamless first inning, retiring the side on 10 pitches, including a strikeout of Dustin Fowler. In the bottom half, the Yankees wasted no time in opening the scoring. After a leadoff single from DJ LeMahieu and a bullet liner from Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner lifted a sac fly to left-center field, plating LeMahieu to make it 1-0.

First baseman Luke Voit didn’t make a scheduled start on Tuesday and he’s not starting Wednesday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to a left knee issue that for now apparently isn’t serious.
“Very minor stuff going on,” manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday morning. “I scratched Luke (from Tuesday’s game against the Tigers in Lakeland, Fla.,) just because he was dealing with a little knee soreness, but I think he’s good to go.”
