The Yankees did finally score, twice, but still held to three hits overall in a 3-2 loss to the Angels, their sixth straight loss

A cool 89 degrees at first pitch here in the Bronx. Neto flies to the track in right-center on Rodon's first pitch of the game

Judge strikes out swinging on a changeup in the first. Now 3 for his last 29 with 18 strikeouts in his last eight games

Giancarlo Stanton reaches on an infield single and, as a result of that rare occurrence, the skies have opened in the Bronx. The grounds crew head is showing crew chief Bill Miller a weather map on his phone, which may show this to be a passing shower. No tarp called for. Yet...

In the time it took me to write they were pulling the tarp on the field...they're taking it off. Would have to consult Elias or something but this might be the shortest rain delay ever. Certainly the shortest I've seen in many years doing this.

Officially an eight-minute rain delay, yes eight, here in the Bronx. And the sun is out with thunder in the background. Odd weather day in the big city...

Grisham hammers that one to right-center for a two-run HR to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead. His 14th of the season but first since May 30 at the Dodgers

Have to say I can't remember a player, in this case Jo Adell, walking back to the dugout thinking he had gone around and the umpire saying no swing. That was...something
