Sometimes you lose the games your supposed to win and win the games your supposed to lose. Last night's loss was awful. The Sox literally handed the game over and the Yanks couldn't take it. Tonight, on a night where Rick Porcello dominated the Yankees on a level only reached before by Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez, the Yankees capitalized on a big error, took advantage of what were probably a couple missed calls and squeaked out a win. That's baseball Susan.
Stephen Drew delivered the biggest blow of the game, a 2 RBI double in the fifth to take a lead the Yankees would never relinquish. The hit came after an error by Travis Shaw on a ball off the bat of Didi. It ran down the right field line and put runners on second and third with two outs. Gardner would tag Porcello for his only earned run, a solo shot to right in the 8th to add an insurance run.
Big Mike wasn't quite as good as Porcello (8 IP, 13 K, 1 ER), but he was awesome tonight. Six innings, one earned run, seven strikeouts, no walks. Giardi lifted him after 92 pitches in favor of his go-to bullpen guys who locked it up and threw away the key.
As all this was happening the Indians tied it up with Toronto in the 9th inning on Yan Gomes' second home run of the night but Ryan Goins hit a walk-off two-run homer in the 10th to win it.

Blew the roof off the place. I hate the fucking Blue Jays but Toronto looks like most fun place in the world to watch baseball right now.
