News about Lou Trivino

With only four combined runs and no victories, the Yankees are in a difficult situation in the American League Championship Series. After losing 5-0 in the Bronx on Saturday, the team is on the verge of elimination by sweep if they do not win by tomorrow. Gerrit Cole, a starter with the Yankees down 2-0, loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth inning. Boone, the manager, was forced to fire Cole, who had thrown 96 pitches, and put in replacement Lou Trivino. Trivino had two hits to score three runs, but he wasn't charged with any of them as Cole put them on base. Since the Yankees fell behind 3-0 in the series, those runs were the last ones scored for either team.

After officially finishing August with a 10-18 record, the New York Yankees will hope to have turned a corner ahead of their final month of the regular MLB season, after the Detroit Tigers (9-18). On Wednesday, the Yankees led 2-0 going into the sixth inning, before Shohei Ohtani's error and a homerun turned the game's outcome. That was the nail in the coffin for the Yankees' miserable last 31 days. Since September 1991 (9-19,.321): The franchise hasn't had such a poor winning percentage (.357) in a single month.

As tempers erupted between the AL East rivals on Sunday night, Toronto starter Alek Manoah angered New York Yankees' ace Gerrit Cole by hitting star man Aaron Judge in the elbow with a sinker. Aaron Boone's side won a game they so desperately needed after defeating the Blue Jays 4-2 on Sunday night. When Manoah plunked a major league home run leader Judge in the left elbow in the fifth inning, he did his best to shock the AL East leaders.
