It was a tough night for Jack Leiter and the Texas Rangers, who were looking to take the first game of a three-game series against the New York Yankees on Monday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
But Ben Rice, Aaron Judge, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had other ideas. Those three Yankees players hit home runs off of Leiter as New York had to hold on late for a 4-2 victory.
Leiter, whose record falls to 1-2 with the loss, worked six innings, gave up eight hits, four Yankees runs (all earned), walked one, and struck out four. Leiter's ERA now sits at a harrowing 5.17. Peyton Gray and Gavin Collyer pitched the final three innings for the Rangers on Monday night.
The Yankees built a 4-0 lead that held up throughout much of the game. Things got interesting late in the ninth inning as the Rangers mounted a rally, but it fell short.
Joc Pederson Homers
Texas scored a run in the seventh inning on a Joc Pederson solo blast, his second homer this season, that went over the left-center field wall. But the Rangers' offense was kept pretty much in check all game long.
Yankees starter Max Fried was on his game. Fried goes to 4-1 on the season with the win. He worked six innings of four-hit ball, walking two and striking out five. Fried's ERA dropped to 2.09, making him one of the Yankees' most effective starting pitchers.
