Chasen Shreve to the rescue. Chasen Shreve

Maleficent last month, Shreve came in with the bases charged, Devin Mesoraco hit in a double-play ground run and pulled Wilmer Flores on a slow roll in front of the mound. With his second big league and first since August 2016, Shreve kept a 7-6 Subway Series win on Saturday, allowing Sonny Gray to win consecutive starts for the first time since the Yankees' acquisition. Last summer.

Aaron Judge Amazed:

At another tumultuous day for the Mets from last place, Jeurys Familia was traded against Oakland for two minor league and outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was out range because of body pains, a match after returning from an absence of two months. Céspedes said Friday night that he might need a surgery on both heels that would require a recovery of eight to ten months.

The judge dominated the Yankees, who trailed after the second round of Michael Conforto but rallied to Steven Matz (4-8) with a fourth place that included Didi Gregorius's double, Miguel Andujar (badisted by fans) and Greg Bird, as well as the RBI of Austin Romine.

Matt den Dekker took a bad road as he missed a diver plunger hit on the Gregorius liner that bounced off the fence, allowing Bird's car to take a look at warning track and blew up the glove of Romine

"It's hard when these bullets are hit so hard, and you know the wind was moving out there," said Den Dekker , which has hit three times and is out of season

Gray (7-7) or 11-14 in 30 starts since the Yankees acquired it from Oakland on July 31st. He allowed three runs – two wins – three hits and three walks in five innings and one-third.

"I think he's there" Aaron Boone said, "Gray has a 7.62 ERA in nine home starts this season and averaging 3.62. ERA in 10 road appearances.

"For me there was only one way to go, and that's up." Gray added that the key was to stop staying on the previous hitters.

Gray left with a 4-1 lead, but David Robertson dropped out of RBI's Amed Rosario's single in sixth place, so Bird chased Matz with a RBI single in the bottom half, Judge hit his 26th circuit – and 18th at home – through a strong wind in seventh against Tim Peterson and Romine added a grounder scoring the race in the eighth.

Pitching for the first time in a week, Chapman reached 98 mph Just twice – rekindling questions about the health of his left knee, he followed Kevin Plawecki to a total count, gave a home run to Rosario and four-run consecutive streaks to hitters Ty Kelly and Jose Reyes. Chapman hit Brandon Nimmo with a 2-0 throw, his 11th ball right, and Boone summoned Shreve, who had thrown 18 shots in the 7-5 defeat on Friday.

"Not much to think about, it's just a bad day in general," Chapman said through a translator.

Mesoraco founded a splitter to second baseman Brandon Drury, who stepped on the sack and pitched to first base. Flores propelled a slider by 2-2, then s failed on a splitter.

"I do not know if I've had time to have my adrenaline," Shreve said. "It was over like that," he added, snapping his fingers.

He had dropped four out of five points in mid-June, dropping three homers.

"I'm not very dependent on the splitter, but I put my ball faster using my slider.

Matz lost his third consecutive start, dropping five points and nine hits. In five or more runs

"Things were not clear," he said. "Everything was in place."

WELCOME TO THE SHOW

Domingo Acevedo was recalled from Trenton by the Yankees and then returned to Double-A after the match. A 24-year-old right-hander, Acevedo is 6-6 with a 3.25 ERA in 23 starts. He was watching Netflix in his hotel room and first thought that something was wrong when manager Jay Bell and pitcher coach Tim Norton knocked on his door around 11 pm . Friday in Binghamton. Acevedo called her mother in the Dominican Republic, and she also thought that something would not be right given the late hour.
