A leaping catch, happy tears, and a win: How TJ Friedl saved the Reds
CINCINNATI (AP) — In what has been a frustrating first season with the Cincinnati Reds, manager Terry Francona was able to shed some happy tears Tuesday night courtesy of a game-saving catch. TJ Friedl made a leaping grab in center field for the final out to rob pinch-hitter Jake Bauers of a tying home run in the Reds' 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. 'We couldn't tell if Friedl caught it. We were just kinda goin' on his body language,' Francona said. 'That was certainly a nice feeling. You may have seen a grown man cry.' The Reds appeared to lock up the win when Caleb Durbin hit a grounder to Elly De La Cruz, but the shortstop's throw to first base was high and sailed into the camera well for an error, allowing Durbin to reach second base. Bauers got ahead in the count 2-1 before he got the barrel on a fastball by Emilio Pagán. According to MLB's Statcast, the ball had a 95% hit probability, but Friedl did a nice job of tracking it and timed his jump perfectly to help the Reds snap a three-game losing streak. 'I knew it was hit well off the bat. I think it was probably when I was coming close to the warning track that I thought, I could have a chance at this,' Friedl said. Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy brought in Bauers because of his experience in late-game situations. It almost resulted in the third pinch-hit homer of his career. 'It's hard to get it out of here in center when it gets later in the evening. It was such a line drive I knew it was going to be close,' Murphy said after the Brewers had their eight-game winning streak snapped. 'It was a great play by Friedl. You play to the last pitch and he made it.' It was the second time in three years Friedl made a homer-saving catch in center at Great American Ball Park. The previous time came against the club Francona managed for 11 seasons, when Friedl robbed Cleveland's Ramón Laureano of a two-run shot during the third inning on Aug. 16, 2023. Friedl and the other Reds outfielders worked on making plays at the wall before Monday's series opener against Milwaukee. When he robbed Laureano, they practiced it before that game, too. 'Maybe we should work on it a lot,' Friedl said. Francona wasn't the only one relieved. Pagán thought he made a great pitch to Bauers. 'I didn't realize he hit it so well. I turned around and saw that TJ was making a sprint. The way this game works, you prepare and do the right things,' Pagán said. The win improved the Reds' record to 30-32 with a chance to snap a string of 11 consecutive series losses to the Brewers. Cincinnati is nine games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs in the NL Central and four back in the wild-card race. Whether Friedl's heroics can serve as a catalyst for a win streak remains to be seen. 'Your guess is as good as mine. We're just going to continue to go out every day and control what we can control and play our game. And then we'll see what ends up,' Friedl said. 'It's a long season, so we're going to continue to go out there and play the best baseball.' ___ AP MLB:

Timing's just right for Yankees as Jazz Chisholm and Devin Williams return to familiar roles
NEW YORK – Jazz Chisholm Jr. knows how to make an entrance. When he joined the Yankees in a trade last July, he homered four times in his first four games, all victories. He opened this season with three homers in a three-game sweep. He had high hopes for Tuesday, his first game back from an oblique strain. Advertisement 'Honestly, I pictured a 3-for-3,' Chisholm said after a do-it-all performance to beat the Cleveland Guardians. 'But I'll take a 2-for-3.' Chisholm used his speed, power and defense in a 3-2 win at Yankee Stadium behind seven dominant innings from Carlos Rodón. Back at third base for the first time since the World Series, Chisholm ranged across the line for a backhanded stab in the third, firing on a hop to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt for the out. He singled in the fifth and scored from second on a single by DJ LeMahieu. Then he ambushed Tanner Bibee for the go-ahead homer on the first pitch of the bottom of the seventh. 'You just see all the things he can do on the diamond,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'Really exciting to have him back and good to see that kind of impact right away.' Chisholm cooled off quickly after the opening series against Milwaukee; he hit .151 in April before his injury in Baltimore. He played second base then, with Oswaldo Cabrera at third. But now that Cabrera is hurt and LeMahieu is back at second – third base it is. Chisholm doesn't hit like Boston's Rafael Devers, but he's a lot more open to position changes. In Miami, Chisholm noted, he switched to center field after three years in the middle infield. When the Marlins dealt him to the Yankees, he tried third base for the first time. Now he's back, and it's no big deal. Chisholm said he uses the same 11-inch glove wherever he plays in the infield. 'I really thought I was done at third base, not going to lie to you,' Chisholm said. 'I didn't think I was going to see it. I thought I left my career over there with a good stamp, you know? But I guess we're back again, we've got to shine again. We can't let that reputation go down at third base.' Chisholm wasn't the only Yankee on the move. When Luke Weaver popped a hamstring after warming up at Dodger Stadium on Sunday night – 'I was very blindsided by the fact that happened,' he said – it put Devin Williams back in the closer's role on Tuesday. Advertisement It also shoved Gary Wright off the Yankee Stadium playlist; the '70s Yacht Rocker ('Dream Weaver') sat this one out, and rapper Key Glock guided Williams to the mound for the save opportunity. He nearly didn't get them through the ninth, giving up a two-out run before Bo Naylor flied to left to end the game. Even so, Williams has mostly recovered from a ghastly start that forced Boone to reinstall Weaver as the closer. In 16 appearances since April 28, Williams has a 3.68 ERA, with 21 strikeouts in 14 ⅔ innings. Not dazzling, but encouraging enough. 'I'm in a routine now,' Williams said. 'I was still figuring it out at the beginning of the year. It's a big adjustment to make, just in life. Getting to the field every day was like, you've got to figure out when you've got to leave – what time do I need to leave to be there when I want to be there? Things like that. I'm in a good rhythm right now.' Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes it works right away. For Chisholm and Williams, the timing intersected just right on Tuesday.
