"While not quite the offensive fireworks of the first two games of the series, yesterday's 5-3 extra-innings win was nonetheless just as impressive as the first pair of wins. The bullpen outside of Devin Williams was lights out to keep giving the offense a chance to win it, something they finally did with a string of clutch ABs in the 11th inning. Today, they look to keep the pressure on the Blue Jays ( currently just two games ahead) and complete the four-game sweep of Chicago to win their eighth in a row."
"Luis Gil has looked more like himself with each successive start after a rocky season debut that was delayed four months by injury. He has given up two or fewer runs and pitched at least five innings in each of his last four outings and has surrendered just one home run in his 24 innings of work. The walk continue to be an issue, Gil issuing 17 free passes across five starts. Overall, he is 2-1 with a 3.75 ERA (110 ERA+), 3.95 FIP, and 22 strikeouts in 24 innings."
"Martín Pérez spent much of his career with the Rangers, with whom he was an All-Star in 2022 and won a World Series in 2023. However, the lefty veteran has been something of a journeyman the last handful of years and is now with his sixth different organization. His fastball will barely touch 90 these days, so instead he relies on an even mix of cutter, sinker, and changeup to keep hitters off balance."
The Yankees won 5-3 in extra innings, relying on a strong bullpen outing (outside Devin Williams) and clutch 11th-inning at-bats to secure the victory. The team aims to keep pressure on the Blue Jays, two games ahead, and complete a four-game sweep of Chicago to extend an eight-game win streak. Luis Gil has steadily improved after a delayed debut, allowing two or fewer runs and pitching at least five innings across four straight starts while issuing 17 walks in five starts. Martín Pérez relies on cutter, sinker, and changeup as his fastball sits under 90 mph.
