The New York Yankees ended the regular season with a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
NEW YORK — Alex Verdugo hit a go-ahead, two-run single with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning and the New York Yankees ended the regular season with a 6-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.Struggling for most of the second half, Verdugo snapped a 4-all tie by hitting a fastball from Carmen Mlodzinski into right field to score Austin Wells and Jasson Domínguez. Wells was hit by a pitch from Colin Holderman , and Domínguez walked.
Pitching in the rain, Clarke Schmidt allowed four runs and four hits in four-plus innings in an audition for New York's postseason rotation — a day after rookie Luis Gil gave up four homers in similar conditions. Boone said neither of those outings will influence who is in the postseason rotation.
