The Yankees gave up three home runs — including two to Bryan Reynolds — in their loss to the Pirates on Friday night at Yankee Stadium.
Pittsburgh Pirates' Bryan Reynolds, right, rounds the bases past New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., left, after hitting a two-run home run during the eighth inning of a baseball game Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, in New York. ’ to-do list for the regular season is secure the best record in the American League, a path to home-field advantage in the playoffs.
But with a handful of starters like Aaron Judge, Austin Wells and Giancarlo Stanton getting a night off, a few of the Yankees’ postseason question marks led to a frustrating 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh.Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle — a reliable weapon out of the bullpen all season long — gave up a go-ahead, two-run home run to Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds in the top of the eighth inning.
Leadoff man Gleyber Torres grounded out and Pittsburgh elected to intentionally walk Juan Soto to load the bases, simultaneously calling to the bullpen. Jazz Chisholm Jr. — who got the start in the No. 3 hole with Aaron Judge off — cashed in, bouncing a two-run single back up the middle off lefty reliever Joey Wentz.
Verdugo homered on Thursday night, but his offensive production continues to be a detriment. He’s a superior defender to Domínguez — the phenom has struggled of late in left field — but Verdugo hasn’t been able to hit consistently all summer. But keep in mind heading into October that Rodón has allowed the second-most homers in all of baseball this season .
