However, Miller prevailed with the swinging strikeout of Donaldson. This setup the conclusion of what was a Yankees youth movement game on full display.
Yankees first-baseman Greg Bird smacked a three-run home run (10) off Mark Lowe, energizing the entire dugout.
The Bird homerun capped off a marvelous night for the youngsters. Not only does Mark Teixeira’s replacement now have 10 home runs in just 121 at-bats, but phenom pitcher Luis Severino pitched another stellar game. Sevy’s six-innings, two runs, three hits and three strikeout performance gives Joe Girardi just one more outing to think about as it pertains to a possible AL Wild Card start.
With the 6-4 victory the Yanks now move to just 2.5 games behind Toronto in the AL East. Both teams will turnaround and play the rubber-game tomorrow night.
