The series concluded with Aroldis Chapman blowing a save opportunity in a 10-inning loss at Fenway Park late Sunday.Lynn (8-8), who was sent ahead to Chicago to get some rest, watched the end of the game before calling it a night.“I went to bed knowing that I need to show up today Byron Buxton Jersey ,” he said.With his two-seam and four-seam fastballs filling up the strike zone, Lynn retired 19 in a row before Nicky Delmonico led off the eighth with a single to right.

Cole finished the three-hitter for the AL wild-card leaders.The White Sox had won a season-high four straight. Adam Engel robbed Greg Bird of a potential three-run homer with an outstanding leaping catch over the wall in center in the fourth, but Chicago was shut out for the 10th time this year.Manager Rick Renteria sent infielder Matt Davidson out to the mound for the ninth, and he struck out Giancarlo Stanton while pitching a scoreless inning for the third time this season.“Yeah, I’m enjoying it, it’s fun,” Davidson said.Dylan Covey (4-8) was charged with four runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander dropped to 1-6 in his last seven starts.“I actually thought he didn’t throw that bad http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-max-kepler-jersey , to be honest,” Renteria said. “They put some good swings on some pitches. He obviously gave us some length.”Covey retired his first 10 batters before Stanton walked with one out in the fourth. Didi Gregorius, Aaron Hicks and Gleyber Torres followed with three straight hits, producing two runs.The Yankees added two more in the fifth, and then broke it open with three runs in the eighth against Thyago Vieira. Torres hit his 18th homer with one out, and Neil Walker added a two-run shot.WORTH NOTINGThe Yankees improved to 51-9 when they score first, and a major league-best 43-6 when their starter pitches at least six innings. They also improved to 17-5 against the AL Central this year.TRAINER’S ROOMYankees: LHP J.A. Happ is on track to start Thursday against Texas after being sidelined by hand, foot and mouth disease.
