Kris Bubic took the L for KC tonight. He'd thrown just 22 pitches over 2 scoreless innings on Monday, highlighted by getting Giancarlo Stanton to hit into a double play on a low inside pitch.
So tonight, Bubic faced Stanton again, and threw him a series of off-speed pitches, ending in a low inside curve. Which Stanton reached down and golfed out of the park for a solo homer that was the winning run for the Yanks. Stanton apparently is second only to Babe Ruth in postseason homer frequency. Bubic won the battle on Monday but Stanton prevailed tonight. Sigh.
Bubic needed 26 pitches for his one inning. He probably won't be pitching in tomorrow's game.
