What happened
In the eighth inning Friday night, his team being shut down and shut out to that point once again, Aaron Boone sent in righties (Amed Rosario and Paul Goldschmidt) to pinch-hit for lefties (Trent Grisham and Jazz Chisholm Jr.).
Why it matters
The Yankees were once more desperate for runs.
Common ground
On the mound was one of the majors’ best setup men, Atlanta lefty Dylan Lee, who is overpowering in general, but particularly fierce against lefty hitters (among pitchers who had faced at least 75 lefty batters, his .119 average against was the third-lowest).
Perspective signals
The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
