While more heroics from Aaron Judge gave the Yankees a chance on Friday night, a frustrating 10th inning kept them from coming away with a win. A pair of toss up replay decisions went against them in the top of the 10th, as they failed to score, with both Aaron Boone and DJ LeMahieu getting ejected along the way. Then they were an out away from keeping the game going in the bottom of the inning, only for Carlos Narváez to put a walk-off hit off the Green Monster and give the Red Sox a win.

Elsewhere around baseball, there was plenty more action, so let’s see if any of it went the Yankees’ way in today’s Rivalry Roundup.

Detroit Tigers (46-25) 11, Cincinnati Reds (35-35) 5

With the game still in the balance, the Tigers broke things open by scoring eight runs over the sixth, seventh, and eighth inning. Led by two Gleyber Torres homers, the Tigers pulled away from the Reds and picked up a win.

Through the fifth inning, the score was just 3-2 in favor of the Tigers, with Detroit picking up a couple runs off Nick Martinez, and Cincinnati doing likewise against the Tigers’ bullpen game slate.

Then in the sixth, things started to pick up. Detroit scored four runs in the sixth, including three on a bases-loaded, bases-clearing Riley Greene double. After a Torres solo homer in the seventh, the Tigers used three hits and a walk to add three more runs in the eighth.

It turned out, those extra runs ended up being helpful. While the Reds didn’t end up getting all that close to the Tigers’ 11 runs, they rallied enough to score three and force the Tigers into a pitching change before Detroit finished things off.

Houston Astros (39-30) 10, Minnesota Twins (36-33) 3

In contrast to the game above, the Astros got to double digits by jumping all over the Twins early and never looking back for a blowout win.

Led by a two-RBI Cam Smith single in the first inning, Houston quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead. In the following frames Jose Altuve drove home two in the second, and Jacob Melton two in the third, as the Astros led 8-0 after three innings.

Minnesota eventually managed to get some offense off of Astros starter Colton Gordon and the Houston pitching staff, but it was mostly too late by then. With 10 runs on 14 hits, almost everyone chipped in for the Astros, but Melton and Altuve led the way for them with three RBI each.

Other Games

Philadelphia Phillies (40-29) 8, Toronto Blue Jays (38-31) 0: Toronto were shutdown by a very good Ranger Suárez, who threw seven scoreless innings en route to a shutout Phillies win. A three-run Kyle Schwarber homer helped the Phillies open up a 4-0 lead in the second, and they never looked back, with Suárez allowed four just four hits while striking out six.

Tampa Bay Rays (37-32) 7, New York Mets (45-25) 5: The bulk of the Rays’ offense came via a six-run sixth inning, as they used it to rally past the Mets. Clay Holmes mostly held the Rays in check in this five innings, but once Tampa Bay got to the Mets’ bullpen things changed in a hurry. Six Rays hits helped them to six runs, with a Danny Jansen two-run homer breaking the tie for good.

Seattle Mariners (34-34) 7, Cleveland Guardians (35-33) 2: Having stranded 13 runners for the game and struggled to take advantage of their chances, the Mariners broke through with a four-run seventh inning, which allowed them to pull away from the Guardians. Randy Arozarena’s RBI single broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh, before a big Dominic Canzone single gave Seattle some breathing room, ensuring a good Luis Castillo start didn’t go to waste.
