"The Yankees not only clinched yesterday after their third consecutive win - they pulled within a game of a Blue Jays club that lost to the Red Sox. If the Yankees and southpaw (2.92 ERA) can take care of business against the White Sox in a bullpen game opened by Fraser Ellard (4.50 ERA in 16 appearances), they'll have the chance to pull into a tie with the Jays."
"That's a significant drop with just a handful of games to go, and the road doesn't get any easier with NL Cy Young favorite Paul Skenes standing in their way tonight. Fortunately for Cincinnati, they're able to counter with their own ace. Hunter Greene has been limited to just 18 starts by injury, he's pitched to a 2.74 ERA and struck out 31.5% of his opponents when healthy."
"A scary scene took place in yesterday's game between the Tigers and Guardians when Cleveland designated hitter was struck in the face by a 99 mph fastball from reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. As noted by MLB.com's Tim Stebbins, Fry stayed conscious the entire time but was being held for observation overnight at a local hospital. The extent of Fry's injuries aren't yet known,"
AL East race tightened as the Yankees pulled within one game of the Blue Jays after a third straight win and Toronto's loss to Boston; Toronto holds the season-series tiebreaker. The Yankees could tie the Jays if their 2.92 ERA southpaw handles a bullpen game opened by Fraser Ellard, though Toronto retains the tiebreaker. The Reds dropped a game in the NL Wild Card race and now face NL Cy Young favorite Paul Skenes while countering with Hunter Greene, who has a 2.74 ERA and strong strikeout numbers when healthy. Cleveland's designated hitter Fry was struck in the face by a 99 mph fastball from Tarik Skubal, remained conscious, and was held overnight for observation; the extent of injuries is unknown.
