This game, and this series for that matter, had a little bit of everything in it. There were highs, there were lows, and everything in between. But the end result of was bitter disappointment. Miles Mikolas took the ball for the Cardinals and allowed three runs in the top of the fourth. He ended up getting through five innings, so he didn’t do poorly.
After the Yankees jumped out to a 3-0 lead, the Cardinals punched back with a two-run double by Thomas Saggese that just snuck out of Cody Bellinger’s reach. Alec Burleson tied the game in the fifth with a double of his own, and Yohel Pozo, using his special Player’s Weekend bat with his son Paul’s handprints on it, hit a home run to put St. Louis up 4-3.
The Yankees threatened against Kyle Leahy, who was touched for three runs last night.
