The New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds continued their series at Yankee Stadium tonight. The two teams are playing the rubber match of the three-game series tonight. The first two games featured a pair of comeback wins for both teams.
The Reds won the first game of the series on Monday after rallying from three runs down in the ninth inning to win 4-3. The Yankees won last night’s contest 7-6 after trailing early.
During tonight’s game, New York Yankees outfielder Matt Carpenter made a great catch off the wall to rob the Cincinnati Reds of an extra-base hit.
“That catch by Carp” – Yankees
Before playing outfield for the Yankees this season, Matt Carpenter hadn’t played an outfield position since 2014. It was a tremendous catch for someone not used to playing outfield.
The Yankees have been looking for more outfield production and potentially acquiring an outfielder through a trade. The team may not need to trade for an outfielder if Carpenter continues to perform like this.
Some say Carpenter needs to play every day right now.
If Carpenter can play solid defense to go along with his big hitting numbers, it’ll be hard not to play him every day.
What a catch by right field infielder Matt Carpenter! If Carpenter can make plays like these persistently, the Yankees will be even more dangerous.
3 players the New York Yankees could target at the deadline
The Yankees will be looking to make several moves at the deadline to try to put the team in the best possible position to advance to the playoffs. Here, we’ll look at three players the team could target before the trade deadline.
#3 Willson Contreras, Chicago Cubs
Willson Contreras is a potential trade candidate this season as he is set to hit free agency this offseason. The Yankees have gotten solid production from Jose Treviño, but adding Contreras could put the team over the top.
#2 Ian Happ, Chicago Cubs

You can never have enough pitching when it comes time for the playoffs. Even though the Yankees’ rotation is one of the best in baseball, the team could definitely use another ace to add to the rotation.
Luis Castillo of the Cincinnati Reds is among one of the teams’ top targets at this year’s trade deadline. Castillo would give the Yankees one of the deepest rotations in baseball.
