Aroldis Chapman bypasses Gus Gosaj on Yankee rescue list – The Morning Call

Aroldis Chapman made it interesting, but he retained Wednesday’s victory over the Blue Jays 5-3 for his 152nd save from the Yankees, surpassing Gus Gossej for exceptional possession of third place in the list of bombers of all time.

Chapman lost to Santiago Espinal, who took third place in the wild. He was pinching striker Winnie Capra. Espinal scored a goal to sacrifice George Springer in the right-hand field, breaking a 13.1-half goalless streak and the first run that Chapman allowed this season.

After Bo Bischet went for a long drive in the seat, Chapman knocked him out and then persuaded Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to finish the game.

“Today I was really encouraged,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He fell behind and Espinal got a slider hit there with a score of 2-1 and then he went there to attack. But I liked that he came in and really did it again with his fastball, and when he did, his fastball got better. “

Chapman has turned 22 saves in a row starting July 20, 2021.

As expected, the Yankees sent right-handed pickpocket Ron Marinacchio back to Triple-A Scranton after Wednesday’s game. They need a place on the list of 26 people to activate Luis Gil, who will start the game on Thursday.
