CC Sabathia Leaves Game With Right Hip Soreness, To Undergo MRI

And then arrived a heart-stopping, game-saving play at the plate by Orioles reliever Mychal Givens, who shot a despair flip from catcher Caleb Joseph after throwing a wild pitch together with Gregorius on third base and two out in the bottom of the 11th. Gregorius raced home, but Givens just managed to tag him out before he could score. Gregorius slid home head first, with Givens blocking him by nearly sitting on his head and Gregorius was called out.

"I thought he did block the plate before he got the ball, " Yankees Manager Aaron Boone said of Givens. I wanted to make some adjustments there.

If this wasn't enough, Aaron Judge used every piece of the 6-foot 7-inch framework to rob Joseph of the home run in the 13 Th.

Sanchez was replaced by Austin Romine, the Yankees' last remaining player on the bench.

But at the 14th, " Johnathan Holder, the Yankees' seventh reliever at that nighttime, ran right into issue, and Alvarez's burst put a stop to the suspense.

Yankees starter CC Sabathia left with hip soreness, star catcher Gary Sanchez limped off with a leg cramp right before Alvarez struck, third baseman Brandon Drury was lifted for migraines and second baseman Tyler Wade was removed because of flu-like symptoms.

Three out of the four hits that Sabathia surrendered were solo home runs, two to Manny Machado and one to Chris Davis.

The results of the imaging examination were perhaps not instantly available following this match. Sabathia, who wears a brace on his surgically repaired right knee, made his second start of the season.

The Yankees got the run back in the bottom of the inning on Giancarlo Stanton's broken-bat single that scored Brett Gardner from second, but Sabathia was victimized by Machado again in the third.

The 25-year-old free-agent-to-be got to stand in the on-deck circle and watch leadoff man Trey Mancini see seven pitches from Sabathia before Machado got in himself, spit on a fastball way outside, then stay back on a 78 miles per hour slider and launch it into the second deck in left field. That was just 4 degrees warmer than when these teams met in Denver on April 23, 2013, in the coldest first-pitch temperature in major league history.

Meanwhile, the Yankees squandered a scoring chance in the sixth when Stanton committed a baserunning gaffe, breaking for home on Neil Walker's dribbler back to the mound with one out.

Boone's post-game comment: "He was rundown and he was trying to grind through the game". Showalter gave it a long argument, but to no avail.

An injury for Sabathia could be detrimental to the Yankees starting rotation, which doesn't have much depth as it is.
