Betances Falling Apart

The Yankees took a 7-3 lead in the top of the ninth inning. Dellin Betances comes in and walks two and commits a fielding error to load the bases with none out. Two of his three previous appearances, in games the Yankees had to win, have not been pretty. He’s out of the game.

Update: Tommy Layne comes in and gets a fly ball for the first out. He then gives up a walk and a bloop single, and the Yankees lead is down to 7-5, bases still loaded.

Update: Russell Martin hits a nubber in front of the plate. Both Sanchez and Layne go for the ball. Layne picks it up, avoids, a collision, and tags the plate for the second out. Amazing. The Blue Jays have not hit a ball hard.

Update: Brett Gardner makes a sliding catch in foul territory to end the game, and the Yankees win 7-5. Nothing is easy late in the game for the Yankees lately.
