New York Yankees Shortstop Anthony Volpe may be rubbing on the plate, but these struggles do not clearly affect it in the field.
Volpe has been one of the few defense measures for Yankees, who continued its four match series against the host Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.
After winning the 6-3 series Yankees, Rays’ı 1-0 victory on Friday, three strokes. New York won five flat games and seven of the last nine.
Volpe took three hit in the last 34 horse-salary after going to 4 to 4 on Friday, but the two star defense play played an important role in the narrow victory.
“This is that,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s just a good player. It is very valuable to be in such a position in such a position. It is great to make him play as he does. And frankly 1-0 is very big in the game.”
Right-handed Carlos Carrasco (2-1, 5.94 ERA) will receive a mound for Yankees on Saturday. Last Monday, Kansas City Royals, with a 4-1 victory against five inning, allowed a running run on Solo Homer.
After publishing 7,71 ERA at the first three this season, he was impressive against the 38 -year -old Carrasco Royals and retired the last seven strokes he faced.
“I think it was great not to enter an aggressive series,” New York Catcher Austin Wells. He said. “They made the fields and took themselves out, it’s great.”
Brandon Lowe is in 14 career matches against the Gulf of Tampa (12 starters) against two homer and 10 to 10 (.400) against Carrasco, which was 4-7 with 4-7 ERA.
The rays will oppose with the right-hand Shane Baz (2-0, 1.42), allowing a run on two strokes and 11 strikes in a career height without walking against Boston Red Sox last Monday.
Baz was dominant at the first three this season and left three runs in 19 inning with 27 to 4 strike-righteous rates.
Aaron Judge is a home run against Baz against Baz, who started 15 strokes against Baz, who had 3.00 ERA in four careers, and 2 to 6 (.333).
Tampa Bay lost four flat and hopes a spark from the outside-field player Chandler Simpson, who was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday. Simpson was promoted to replace Richie Palacios, who descended to the 10 -day wounded list with the right knee sprains.
24 -year -old Simpson, 104 bases last season after stolen 104 bases will make the big league exit.
“I think in theory, how fast in theory, I think he has added an element to any series of contact ability.” He said. “I think it will have an opportunity here, a little runway. We’ll see. I don’t know if it’s going to happen for a short time, for a long time.”
Simpson fills a valuable need of Tampa Bay in the outdoor area of the wounded list, both Josh Lowe and Jonny Deluca. The return of Palacios to IL after a game required Simpson’s call.
Erik Neander, “Baseball operations RAYS President Erik Neander,” We are in the place, look, we felt that it is the best option and we will see where it takes us. “We only know that there is an opportunity and we will let the feedback from this opportunity go here.”
