Jose Bautista drew a two base walk:
Time had still not been called when Bautista reached first, and he saw two things — Zych wasn’t paying any attention, and there was nobody even close to the vicinity of second base.
Nothing came of it as the next batter grounded out, but someone on the Mariners should probably be benched for a day for not having his head in the game. Seattle is far out in the AL West, but they are just 1 1/2 games out in the wild card race. Plays like that don’t help.
The other big highlight was the Aaron Judge home run:
The Yankees sent 10 men to the plate against Orioles starter Chris Tillman in the first inning of Saturday’s 16-3 win over the Orioles, and as usual, no one hit the ball harder than Aaron Judge, who set a Statcast™-era record with a solo home run that left his bat at 121.1 mph.
Judge barreled his Major League-leading 19th homer inside the left-field foul pole off Tillman, accounting for the first of six runs the Yankees scored in the first inning. The homer traveled a Statcast™-projected 382 feet, with a launch angle of 25 degrees.
The shot reminded me of the one Mark McGwire hit to break Roger Maris‘s single season record. The ball left the yard so fast you barely realized it happened.
