In a tightly contested baseball game, Reese Olson delivered an impressive performance for the Tigers, pitching five innings with no runs allowed, striking out five, and giving up just two hits and two walks on 88 pitches. His efforts were complemented by a critical moment in the sixth inning when Colt Keith of the Tigers worked a bases-loaded walk against Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman, resulting in the first run of the game, making it 1-0 for the Tigers. Stroman, struggling with control, issued three walks in the sixth, contributing to his early exit from the game. The Yankees' offense was criticized for its lackluster performance, further highlighting the pitching duel.
Stroman was pitching great until his control disappeared in the 6th https://t.co/Kx9AaVCClV
Superb outing, again, by Reese Olson. 5 IP 2 H 0 R 2 BB 5 K 88 pitches 56 strikes
Noted after Reese Olson's last start that Tigers had scored 2 runs this season while Olson has been in the game -- not 2 runs per game, 2 runs total. He gets at least one run of support tonight. https://t.co/h3ehEPVsK1
NYY reliever Ian Hamilton punches out Torkelson and gets McKinstry to ground out. Faedo is in.
Alex Faedo warming. Reese Olson is at 88 pitches. Top of Yankees order coming up.
Ian Hamilton is coming in with the bases loaded and 1 out https://t.co/ZQQMRd6xad
That entire inning from Stroman is on the offense. Gets ahead 0-2 was too afraid to give up contact so he went breaking ball the rest of the at bat and walked him. Guys do their jobs correctly it puts less pressure on the SP to be perfect.
Stroman, who walked a season-high five in his last outing in Milwaukee, with four walks tonight. Three in the sixth to force in the first run of the game. Bases loaded and one out with Ian Hamilton on
Colt Keith, gritty at-bat, works a bases-loaded walk after falling into an 0-2 count. 1-0 Tigers. Night over for Stroman, three straight walks to finish his night https://t.co/Ic0vN4KGSe
Stroman walks in a run to make it 1-0 Tigers
Tigers have loaded the bases with one out in the sixth. Marcus Stroman is on the ropes. Colt Keith up
This Yankees offense absolutely stinks. Horrible.
A six-pitch fifth leaves Stroman at 64 pitches through five.
Reese Olson doing his thing, putting up zeros and keeping the scoreless Tigers in it. Three innings, two singles and a walk. 55 pitches. Using his two-seamer and slider effectively v. RHH.
