The Eighth - Late Game Substitutions



The Padres' 8th inning had some action in it and several substitutions that are typical for the late innings of a Major League game so we will have quite a bit of detail as we go through the inning.

For the Yankees, Mike Stanton relieved Orlando Hernandez (Hernandez pitched an outstanding first seven innings). Caminiti started out the inning with a double to left. Leyritz pinch hit for Joyner and struck out swinging. Finley grounded out to second base, moving Caminiti to third base. R. Rivera pinch hit for Vander Wal and doubled to left center, batting in Caminiti. Hernandez pinch hit for G. Myers and mustered an infield single, moving R. Rivera to third base. Now the Yankees pulled Mike Stanton and relieved him with Jeff Nelson. In response, the Padres had Sweeney pinch hit for Gomez and he singled to right, batting in R. Rivera and moving Hernandez to second. After all that excitement, Veras struck out swinging.
