The ball careened off Benge’s glove and to his right. Aaron Judge scored from second base to cut the Yankees’ deficit to two runs. Raley was able to get two outs in the inning and Luke Weaver shut the Yankees’ door on any more potential scoring as he got out of a bases-loaded jam.
"That’s what great players do," Raley said of Weaver’s pitching prowess, via MLB.com. "Clutch stuff in a big spot. Obviously, we’re chasing some wins right now, and he’s built for that stage. He’s got a lot of poise and control and swag, I would say. So yeah, he was ready for that moment."
