New York Yankees drop game two of doubleheader to the Texas Rangers

 

The New York Yankees were defeated by the Texas Rangers in Game two of a doubleheader on Sunday night.  The game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and the final score was 4-2.  Jordan Montgomery started for the Yankees and he pitched well.  The bullpen wasn’t its usual dominant self and the offense only managed three hits. 

Montgomery pitched six innings giving up four hits and two runs with no walks and five strikeouts.  Michael King picked up his first loss of the season pitching 1 1/3 innings and giving up two hits and two runs with a walk and three strikeouts and Wandy Peralta pitched 1 2/3 innings giving up a hit and he struck out one. 

Glenn Otto started for the Rangers and he pitched five innings giving up two hits and two runs with three walks and two strikeouts.  Garrett Richards pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout, Matt Moore pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up a hit and two walks and he struck out one and Dennis Santana pitched to one batter and retired him.  Brett Martin pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout and Joe Barlow pitched an inning with a walk and a strikeout and he picked up his fourth save of the season. 

Aaron Hicks drew three walks, Giancarlo Stanton had a hit and two RBI and Josh Donaldson had a hit.  Gleyber Torres drew a walk, Isiah Kiner-Falefa drew two walks and Jose Trevino had a hit.  Stanton hit a homerun and the Yankees were 1-6 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.  Hicks had two stolen bases and Estevan Florial had a stolen base.  Montgomery had a pickoff. 

Adolis Garcia had two hits, Jonah Heim had a hit and Kole Calhoun had a hit and drew a walk.  Charlie Culberson had a hit, Brad Miller had a hit and two RBI and Eli White had a hit and an RBI.  Heim hit a double and White and Miller each hit a homerun.  The Rangers were 1-5 with runners in scoring position and left four men on base.  Culberson was caught stealing. 

In the bottom of the third Stanton hit a two-run homerun to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead.  In the sixth White hit a solo homerun cutting the lead to 2-1.  In the seventh a wild pitch tied the game at two and Miller hit a two-run homerun to give the Rangers a 4-2 lead and that would be the final score. 

The two teams split the doubleheader and will now play the third and final game of the series on Monday afternoon.
