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 A 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.
Social Media On Chivilli
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”
