You could reduce the final score to a story of starting pitchers. Dallas Keuchel gave up a Yankee Stadium grand slam to DJ LeMahieu, and that was too deep a hole against Nestor Cortes, even if he wasn’t on his…
Vince Velasquez vs. Gerrit Cole seemed like a mismatch on paper, and it turned out that way in practice. The Yankees homered four times for the second straight night, and Velasquz served up three of them. Giancarlo Stanton hit another…
The White Sox would’ve had unfinished business with the Tigers regardless of how they wrapped up today’s make-up game in Detroit, because the Tigers come to Chicago for three more to wrap up the season. That said, the late innings…

In better times, YermÃn Mercedes’ late scratch would’ve been the center of a recap of a disappointing showing against Cleveland. Mercedes was in the original lineup at DH, but Tony La Russa replaced him with Jake Lamb, and not for…
