New York Yankees Game Recap: Bats Quiet As Yankees Fall In Miami

Masahiro Tanaka can only do so much. On a night when he clearly didn’t have his best stuff, he kept the team in the game. Tanaka gave up nine hits in his seven innings, one short of his career high.

On this night, Tom Koehler was just plain better than Tanaka was.  The only run he gave up was a solo shot to Mark Teixeira to lead off the second, and it wasn’t enough as the New York Yankees fell to the Marlins, 2-1.

The only two other hits the Yankees had were by Didi Gregorius.

The Marlins would tie it in the bottom of the second when Derek Dietrich doubled with one out and scored on Adeiny Hechavarria singled him home.

Tanaka could have helped himself with the bat in the fifth with Gregorius on third but he struck out to end the threat.

Garrett Jones led of the seventh with a walk but the Yankees couldn’t do anything with it.

The Marlins took the lead for good when Dietrich hit a solo homer.

Carter Capps and A.J. Ramos would strike out five of the last six outs for the Marlins to end the game. The only non strikeout was Alex Rodriguez flying out to right to end the game.

Two guys who were traded for each other will face off tomorrow night at 7:05. Nathan Eovaldi will take on David Phelps.
