Adam Ottavino - Charged with blown save SundayOttavino was handed a blown save in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees after allowing all three batters he faced to reach base. He hit a batter and surrendered a two-run double to Aa...
ImpactOttavino was summoned from the bullpen in the top of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on the corners with Boston clinging to a 3-2 lead. The right-hander looked like he might get out of the jam unscathed after inducing a pair of fouled balls off the bat of Judge, but neither first baseman Bobby Dalbec nor catcher Christian Vazquez could secure the catch. Judge made the Red Sox pay for giving him a third chance, as he lined Ottavino's four-seam fastball to left-center field on the eighth pitch of the at-bat to score the go-ahead run. Neither of those runs were charged to Ottavino, but his ERA still took a hit when he served up the long ball to Stanton one batter later. Even though his last save came Sept. 1 and he's blown two saves since that span, Ottavino could still be Boston's preferred closing option. Ottavino has at least delivered value for fantasy managers during his save drought by scooping up four wins in relief.

Giancarlo Stanton - Clears Green Monster in winStanton went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in the Yankees' 6-3 win over the Red Sox.

He left the yard in each game of the Yankees' weekend sweep at Fenway Park, with his 448-foot blast in the eighth inning Sunday clearing the Green Monster and providing some needed insurance runs.

Aaron Judge - Doubles home go-ahead runsJudge went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.
ImpactJudge's 24th double of the season proved to be the most consequential play of the night, as he plated the go-ahead runs in the seventh inning to help the Yankees secure a series sweep while surging ahead of the Red Sox in the American League wild-card race. The Red Sox defense did Judge some favors in allowing the clutch hit to come to fruition; first baseman Bobby Dalbec and catcher Christian Vazquez both failed to corral foul balls that prolonged Judge's at-bat before the slugger lined a ball to the left-center gap. Judge is batting a mere .217 in September, but he's made the most of his 20 hits on the month with eight home runs and 17 RBI.
