00:00is the fourth and final game of the extended weekend set in the
00:03Bronx between the Yankees and the Rays. The Yanks won the
00:07opener with Garrett Cole on the bump. Tampa responds by winning
00:10the next two. The Yankees win the fourth and final to force a
00:14split behind ten strikeouts from Carlos Rodon and five home runs
00:20in total from the Yanks as they hit a ton yesterday. Juan Soto
00:26hit two home runs and had four RBIs. Anthony Volpe, Austin
00:30Wells, DJ LeMayhew also hitting home runs as the Yankees split
00:35that four game set with a 9-1 win in the finale booked as a
00:39hefty minus 176 home money line favorite with some day baseball
00:44in the Bronx. Yeah, kind of interesting where your leadoff
00:46hitter goes 0-5 with three Ks doesn't get on base but Soto and
00:49Judge really pick it up after that. That was a great
00:52performance at the plate for the Yankees on a nice day in the
00:55Bronx where the wind was slightly blowing out 80 degree
00:57temperatures and if you can get a Carlos Rodon start that is
01:01going to give you ten strikeouts and absolutely being
01:03dominant the guy they expected to get on the free agent market
01:07that is going to help them and we talked about coming up to
01:10the trading deadline sometimes just your better players or
01:13expected better players performing at the tempo and at
01:16the peak that you thought they would be that may be the best
01:18edition of the trade deadline you can get. That was a
01:20fantastic performance. Seven innings pitched, one earned run
01:23and ten Ks in a game you absolutely needed to have. I
01:27liked what I saw out of the Yankees yesterday. That's why I
01:29keep saying I don't give up on them. I still think they're the
01:32best team overall in the American League but if you can
01:35get again Carlos Rodon on board to be that type of pitcher down
01:38the stretch that is going to be a real help to the Yanks.
