Such great performances last night to stave off elimination: Masahiro Tanaka had a brilliant start. Gary Sanchez took his blocking skills to another level (an adequate level, to be honest). Aaron Judge preserved a scoreless tie by robbing Francisco Lindor of a 2-run homer. And then there was Greg Bird.
Bye, bye, Birdie! We had a lot of people saying that to Greg Bird during the season--and not because he had hit a home run. Most people thought he would never end up being a consistent player for the Yankees--at least, not this season. Greg Bird, himself, thought so, apparently, and that's all that matters. After all he has gone through, a night like last night's can't be sweeter.
So, what's next? Weather permitting, Game 4 will be played tonight at the Stadium. Trevor Bauer (on three days rest) vs Luis Severino (on extra rest). I don't usually make predictions about these things, and I won't now. But something tells me Sevy will pitch a good game.
Go Yankees.
