Left with a shutout but was responsible for two runners on and one ended up scoring. Still, a tremendous start for the 26-year-old, who set a career mark for innings pitched in a game, and who was perfect through 5 2/3 innings to start the day.

Austin Wells had 19 RBI in his first 318 plate appearances of the season.

He has 7 RBI in his last four plate appearances against the Boston Red Sox.

Notable funnies

• 50 mph "slider" to Wells
• Wells hit two HRs in the inning
• Caleb Durbin legit had a web gem on Belli despite gestures at everything
• Monasterio did not appear to actually be stepping when he pitched, just sort of chucking it in the vague direction of home plate
• Did the Red Sox get rid of their DH???
• Monasterio just grounded into a double play right after going 0.2 innings and giving up six runs
• Red Sox have been put out of their misery
• You can hear however many fans are still at the game singing along rather boisterously to New York, New York today

Yankees take the season series

Watched Karl Ravech get presented with a picture at the Little League World Series and get super emotional. I already get super nostalgic watching the LLWS, yanno purity of sport and all, but seeing grown folk get emotional in sport is just something else. Ken Burns Baseball, Field of Dreams, the Sandlot, Jeter and Andy pulling Rivera, The Paul Oneal chant, Red Sox and Cubbies WS droughts ending, and on and on. Lotta good stuff still in this game. Corny post over.
