Porcello with the win (15-5) in a very well pitched game. Kimbrel managed another save. Holt & Leon supplied what was needed tonight. Phils play the Sox tough. Team did just enough to get another win. On to Wednesday.

Against a tough contending team that is slowly coming to the team they were a decade or so ago, and one with very solid pitching, we prevailed tonight in a tough 2-1 game, the same score we bested the Phillies a few weeks back in Boston in the first game of that series.  Of course, we are hoping not to turn in the type of game we did in that second contest at Fenway tomorrow and win instead.  Cora was on his game tonight.......he gave Hembree a shot after how badly he had been pitching lately and he turned in a solid inning while Kimbrel closed it out in the ninth.  But I could have done without the opening walk in the ninth.  What ought to be said is that while so many teams, the Dodgers, Nationals, Astros and  Rockies come to mind among others, we seem to be holding our own for the most part.  We keep winning and it makes no difference how the Yankees do so we need to keep moving that line along.  Perhaps a little better hitting tomorrow and Eovaldi comes back from his last poor outing as Porcello did tonight.  A good win.

The right Porcello showed up.  And game changing contributions from the "unheralded" guys in Leon and Holt.

Interesting that Porcello had that stinker in between.  Hard to lay it all on the catcher, but he had high praise for Leon after the game. 

I could have done without Porcello's headfirst slide into second with his right hand out there to get smashed up.  Other than that, 7-1 so far on this road trip!
