The New York Yankees are just one win away from achieving a 90-win season. While they are looking to build momentum as the regular season winds down, the Seattle Mariners proved to be a tough opponent in their latest game.
Manager Aaron Boone struggled to navigate Dan Wilson’s pitching rotation, resulting in a close 3-2 loss. However, the bigger concern for fans came with the early exit of reliever Jake Cousins.
According to Bryan Hoch of MLB, Boone and the coaching staff opted to pull Cousins from the game due to tightness in his right pectoral muscle, which could hinder his ability to pitch effectively.
They are likely being cautious, knowing they will need him during the postseason. Cousins managed to pitch just 0.1 innings but still managed to record a strikeout despite the discomfort in his pec.
Did the Yankees’ pitchers perform well overall?
