New York Yankees Beat Miami Marlins 9-7 As Historic Pitching Streak Comes To An End
The Yankees were hurt by their starting pitcher last night. Ryan Weathers started and gave up six hits and three runs. He started against his former roommate, Max Meyer. Meyer threw 4.2 innings. However, the Yankees got back in this game with a home run from Cody Bellinger.
The incredible string of starts by the Yankees was not going to continue. So, to a certain extent, the poor start by Weathers was expected. He is probably the weakest starting pitcher in the Yankees’ starting pitching rotation. Do you think Max Fried will start a new streak tomorrow?

The Player Of the Game
The player of the game was Ramirez. In the first six innings of the game, he was 2-for-3 and had two runs scored and an RBI. He was a former Yankee farmhand. It seems many catchers who kill the Yankees are. Bellinger also deserves some consideration. He hit a two-run home run and had a sacrifice fly. He had three runs batted in.
Turning Point
The turning point of the game was when Bellinger hit the sacrifice fly, scoring Grisham. The Yankees took a 5-4 lead with that run. It is a lead they would not relinquish, though the score was tied at 6.
