The New York Yankees, led by Aaron Judge, face the Washington Nationals in an MLB regular season game on Tuesday, August 22, 2023 (8/22/23) at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York.
NEW YORK — An overturned call at the plate in the eighth inning led to the latest loss in what’s become the New York Yankees’ worst season in decades.
New York appeared to break a 5-5 tie in the eighth when Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored from first on rookie Anthony Volpe’s single. Plate umpire Junior Valentine signaled safe, ruling Kiner-Falefa’s left foot got in ahead of Connor Wong’s tag, but the call was reversed in a video review, which also upheld the catcher did not block the plate in violation of rules.
“From the get-go I thought he was out,” said Boston manager Alex Cora, who had been ejected two inning earlier for arguing a called third strike and watched the key play from the clubhouse. “I was wondering why Junior was waiting. He waited, waited to call him safe and I was like what is he doing.” “They just got the better of us,” Kiner-Falefa said. “I feel like they’re swinging the bats well. They have a good game plan pitching. They’re just better than us right now.”
The Red Sox swept a series in the Bronx for the second time in three seasons. Boston won for the eighth time in 11 games and remained three games behind Seattle. Rafael Devers homered in the first off Clarke Schmidt and scored on Volpe’s throwing error, but Kyle Higashioka and Gleyber Torres hit tying homers in the third and sixth off Nick Pivetta. New York has been outscored 17-0 in the first two innings over its past five games.
