In their latest round of Home Run Derby, the Virtual Yankees out-homered the Virtual Twins in the Bronx, to take their fifth straight win, 10-7.
Yankees rookie Clarke Schmidt managed to hang on for five innings and claim his first-ever major-league win, despite allowing a home run to former Yankee Jake Cave, another to the ageless Nelson Cruz, and two more to Minnesota behemoth Miguel Sano.
The Yanks were able to hold their own, though, thanks to home runs by Gio Urshela, Mike Tauchman, Mike Ford, Luke Voit, Kyle Higashioka, and—yes—Thairo Estrada, off the appropriately named Homer Bailey and a bevy of Twins relievers. Zack(h) Britton got the save for New York.
In a historic milestone, the game was also the first ever broadcast by a former National League president. With The Master, John Sterling, remaining under observation at Columbia-Presyterian Hospital and the voice of Phil Rizzuto still on the lam, White became the latest ex-voice of the Yankees to join the virtual broadcast team.
At 86, White's performance was deemed impeccable, save for a tendency to call Suzyn Waldman, "Frank," and several innings of snoring.
The win improved the Yankees' record to 34-21, a mere ten games behind the still moderately warm Tampa Bay Rays.
How will we ever catch the smoking hot Rays!?
