– The New York Yankees ended a seven-game losing streak Saturday with a walk-off 2-1 victory over the New York Mets, but it was a controversial decision by manager Aaron Boone in the ninth inning. With two outs, Dellin Betances threw a wild pitch that deflected off the glove of catcher Wilson Ramos and allowed Clint Frazier to score. The Yankees had runners at first and third with one out, and Boone decided to replace starter JA Happ with Adam Ottavino. Ottavino allowed a game-tying homer to Wilson Ramos on a 2-0 changeup that clanged off the left field foul pole for his second homer of the season. Before the Mets tied it, Happ’s first start in nearly two weeks was among his best since joining the Yankees in a trade from Toronto in July 2018. The left-hander produced his longest outing since joining the Yankees in a trade from Toronto in July 2018. He struck out five, walked none, and threw 90 pitches on a day when he threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of 23 hitters. It was the first time in 22 starts dating to June 6, 2019, at Toronto that Happ completed seven innings. He retired the last eight hitters he faced and faced one hitter above the minimum while not allowing a runner to reach second base. Luke Voit hit his 12th homer two batters into the game off Robert Gsellman as the Yankees halted their longest skid since June 13-20, 2017. The Yankees’ last eight-game losing streak was Aug. 19-26, 1995.
