The Yankees offense woke up from its slumber to score six unanswered runs, but after the bullpen coughed up the lead, Giancarlo Stanton 's two-run single in the eighth lifted New York to a 9-7 win on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees had just six hits and were 3-for-13 with RISP -- with nine left on base -- but they took advantage of their 11 walks, the second consecutive game they had that many, and Marlin mistakes. Here are the takeaways - Ryan Weathers wasn't long for this game as he labored early and often.
In the first inning, a one-out walk and a two-out bloop single put runners on the corners before Heriberto Hernandez split the outfielders with a triple that plated two. Weathers would get out of the inning without further damage, but it took the young southpaw 31 pitches. The second inning wasn't much better.
Back-to-back singles (one of the infield variety) to lead off the inning put Weathers in another jam. Weathers got a slow roller to Jazz Chisholm Jr. , but he and Jose Caballero couldn't complete the doubleplay.
Austin Wells caught the runner trying to steal second for the second out, but Weathers could not get the third out. He walked the next batter and allowed an RBI single to Agustin Ramirez to put the Yankees behind 3-0. Weathers struggled in the third, but escaped without allowing more runs and got the first two batters out in the fourth before he was pulled.
