On Sunday afternoon, the New York Yankees played the first of two games against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Yankees lost by a score of 8-2, so they will look to avoid getting swept on Sunday night.
UPDATE: The Yankees won 2-1.
Despite the loss, Angel Chivilli was one of the few bright spots, as he came in for 1.1 innings and let up no runs (with three strikeouts).
Yankees Made Deal With Rockies That Is Paying Off

It’s worth noting that the Yankees acquired Chivilli in a trade with the Colorado Rockies over the offseason.
The Yankees had written (on January 28) via X: “The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired right-handed pitcher Angel Chivilli from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for minor league infielder T.J. Rumfield.”
So far, Chivilli has been a solid addition to the Yankees.
He has gone 0-0 with a 1.00 ERA in seven games.

Here’s what people have been saying about the 23-year-old:
Ryan Garcia: “Angel Chivilli has been very impressive in his second stint with the team. Mixing in his changeup-slider-fastball pretty evenly while getting more run & depth on the heater.”
@YankeesFiles: “What if Chivilli is Him”
Gary Phillips: “3 K over 1.1 innings for Angel Chivilli today. He hasn’t allowed a run over 5 G since being recalled on July 5.”
Eric Hubbs: “Moving forward if Doval or Bird are pitching in any meaningful spot I will immediately wonder why Angel Chivilli isn’t in the game”
