The Yankees lost for the first time when leading after 8 innings this season. The Bronx Bombers were previously 49-0 before the Reds' four-run rally.
It was one of those stunning wins that defied expectations. Holmes had allowed two earned runs all season and he gave up four Tuesday. He had no control of his sinker and he opened the door for the comeback: Walk, single, hit by pitch, single, hit by pitch.
"There is not a tougher at-bat," Reds Manager David Bell said. "Jonathan wants to be up in those situations." "To make that pitch on Judge, to throw the slider there, trust his ability to make a pitch and not worry about walking maybe the best hitter in the game, that’s what it takes," Bell said. "It takes not being afraid like that. That’s why he’s going to be really good."
It wasn’t one of those starts that will have many clips to add to the highlight reel, but Graham Ashcraft returned to the dugout after the fifth inning to high-fives from his teammates.
