Live Updates: Yankees vs. Rays Game Score and Analysis

Discussion continued Sunday morning in St. Petersburg about the play that ended Saturday night’s extra-inning game. The sequence unfolded in the 10th inning at Tropicana Field. Managers and players disagreed on whether a game-saving double play was realistically possible.

What happened on the play

Jonathan Aranda hit a chopped grounder with the bases loaded and one out. Jazz Chisholm Jr. fielded the ball at second base. Yandy Díaz was running from first toward second. Chandler Simpson scored from third on the play.

Manager and player reactions

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the chance of completing a 4-6-3 double play was slim. He noted the ball’s chop made a clean play difficult. Boone plans to review the scenario further with his second baseman.

Chisholm described the play as messy and said his best option was a tag-and-throw at first. He added uncertainty about the ruling if a throw to first had occurred. That outcome, he suggested, could still have allowed Simpson to score and end the game.

Chisholm’s offense and recent form

Chisholm said his swings have felt solid despite a rough stretch. He is 3-for-28 in his current slump, a .107 batting average. On Saturday, he went 1-for-5 and hit a chopped double over first base. His line also included a strikeout and three flyouts. He attributes the trouble to timing rather than contact quality.

Anthony Volpe’s rehab work

Shortstop Anthony Volpe has been working out in Tampa as he rehabs a shoulder injury. He took batting practice while progressing through his recovery routine. The club continues to monitor his status ahead of upcoming games.
