Anthony Volpe hit a game-tying two-run homer....until it was called back because of fan interference. The crew ruled that Victor Mesa Jr. would not have caught the ball, so a run was allowed to score.

Quite a snag by the Yankees' ball girl

Victor Mesa Jr. two-run go-ahead tank. Stick around for the swagger.

Ryan Vilade goes yard in literally the only MLB ballpark this 336-foot shot would be a homer

Max Muncy goes yard in the ninth. The Braves are on the ropes.

So, um...these are Cam Schlittler's stats...not Max Fried's

Teoscar Hernández is staying in the game for the time being after needing a minute from crashing into the wall on this catch attempt

All of the Guardians' past three runs have been generated by José Ramírez, who needed a day like this something awful

José Ramírez is so jacked up about looking like José Ramírez again

The Padres are still alive. Michael King, who started Game 2 Sunday (and would likely start Game 5 if it gets that far) comes on in the eighth to secure the final six outs, with the last two coming on a game-ending double play. Playoff baseball, man.

Man the Brewers are just perpetually lurking, aren't they. Other teams have to feel like they're facing a horror movie villian.

Xander Bogaerts dodges both a batted ball and a broken bat, then comes around to score on a throwing error from Cooper Pratt. A lot to digest on this one.

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The Brewers had a tie game for like 20 minutes and then Jake Cronenworth rocked a solo shot on the first pitch he saw in the fifth

Cooper Pratt just burned his way home from third on a sac fly that only went 242 feet

"God dammit, Merrill." Pat Murphy is a national treasure and having him mic'd up for this catch was amazing.

We've got some Jackson on Jackson crime. Jackson Merrill robs Jackson Chourio with a sliding catch to kick off Game 3.

Edwin Díaz locks down the save in the ninth. Chris Sale gets tagged with the loss for Atlanta, whatever momentum the Dodgers lost Sunday night was just regained and they're now one win from a shot at another pennant.

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Padres will be without Mason Miller tonight, as he was just placed on the paternity list. Wandy Peralta will take his place on the active roster until he returns.

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yoshinobu Yamamoto now has a career-high tying 10 strikeouts. Save for one shaky frame, he's completely held the Braves in check tonight.

And now Freddie Freeman, who was robbed of a dinger earlier, leaves no doubt on a solo shot. Suddenly it's 3-0 Dodgers.

"If Mauricio Dubón is out here robbing homers, I'll just try hitting it over his head," - Kiké Hernández, it seems

Holy hell Mauricio Dubón just robbed Freddie Freeman of a homer

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

On the other side, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is looking just as strong on the mound. Both he and Sale have combined to allow six batted balls so far, only one qualified as "hard hit." We've got ourselves a pitchers duel.

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Chris Sale already has 5 K's through 1.2 innings and if you're wondering how his stuff looks just watch the swing he gets from Andy Pages

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Game. The Rays take advantage of the Yankees' night of 1,000 errors to bring themselves one win from the ALCS.

A second homer tonight from Ben Rice, who's basically trying to throw the Yankees on his back right now

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

A picture is worth a thousand words

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

For those keeping track, this was initially ruled as a single. It has now been changed to an error, giving the Yankees five for the day.

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

With his two-run single, Richie Palacios now has a career .333/.412/.500 slash line in 68 career plate appearances against the Yankees, including the postseason

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Were it not for Yankees error No. 4, the fifth inning would've been over. Instead, Richie Palacios plated two more runs to give the Rays a 5-1 lead.

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

That's now four errors through 5.2 innings for the Yankees tonight

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Cam Schlittler's day is done. That only three runs came across the plate while he was on the mound despite the way the Yankees' defense played behind him is a minor miracle.

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The Yankees, who somehow kept their deficit to one run after such a rocky start, tie the game with this Ben Rice tank

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Somehow we've had two "ball hits roof" outs in the span of three days

1334

Casey Drottar @caseydrottar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It can't be overstated how rough it's been for the Yankees' defense to start this one
