Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Clarke Schmidt play crucial roles in the Yankees' victory over the White Sox, highlighting their importance to the team's success.
And even though the Yankees, with 48 games left, still are not where they want to be, their plight might be even worse without the important contributions of Schmidt and Kiner-Falefa.
It was still not a perfect night for their offense, which left 10 men on base and struck out 17 times, but it was more than enough to give themselves a chance to win the series on Wednesday. Schmidt has now allowed three runs or fewer in 14 straight starts and his 19 overall starts of that variety are the fourth-most in the majors this season.“I think you can say he’s been one of the better pitchers in the league for probably the last two or three months,” manager Aaron Boone said before the game. “After taking his lumps the first month of the season, he’s really been really consistent for us.
Then, in the fourth inning, Giancarlo Stanton and Billy McKinney hit back-to-back, one-out singles off Touki Toussaint before Kiner-Falefa finally made him pay.The valuable utilityman, who started at third base, roped a double to the gap in left-center field to score both runners for the 2-0 lead. Judge then walked to reload the bases, but Torres struck out on a pitch in the dirt to miss a chance to blow the game open.
