Miguel Vargas hit his first career grand slam in the second inning, a 14th homer that tied the game 4-all. In the fifth inning, Vargas was hurt while trying to stretch for Curtis Mead's wide throw from just behind third base on a chopper by Aaron Judge. Judge's left leg appeared to strike Vargas' left (glove) hand as Vargas ran to first, and Vargas crumpled to the ground in pain. Judge was awarded a single and advanced to second on the wide throw that allowed Ben Rice to score, giving the Yankees a 6-4 lead. Vargas was replaced at first base by Curtis Mead and did not return.
