Fans on both sides experienced the ups and downs involved with being a loyal baseball follower.Michael King earned his sixth win of the season in a game where the Yankees used seven different pitchers. The Reds' offense has looked revitalized in the last month, and their hitters continued their good form early in the game.Kyle Farmer, Mike Moustakas and Stuart Fairchild hit back-to-back-to-back home runs off Luis Severino in the second inning to give Cincinnati a 4-0 lead. New York fought back with a five-run third inning, only for their opponents to retake the lead in the fifth inning.With just six outs remaining, Giancarlo Stanton stepped up and drove a fastball opposite field to tie the game at 6-6.YES Network@YESNetworkA big blast from Big G!

With Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo and Josh Donaldson all hitless on the night, the Yankees needed a hero to step up.AT@YankeeWRLDFile this under Iconic Yankees photos13015File this under Iconic Yankees photos https://t.co/Qnqd0UogvPLuis Severino didn't look like himself from the start. It was rumored that his shoulder was bothering him before the game, and that was apparent. His fastball was 4-5 mph slower than usual, and he never really looked comfortable on the mound. After his torrid start, it was up to the bullpen to close this one out for New York.JP Sears steadied the ship and, although he gave up two runs in the sixth, had a solid outing with five strikeouts in 3.2 innings. Albert Abreu, Wandy Peralta, Aroldis Chapman and Clay Holmes all got some work in before Michael King closed it out in the tenth inning.Hypo R.A.M@a_hypo@Yankees I never seen Severino get lit up like that in my life 🤧 Sears arm looked good a few bad pitches but the 5k’s was a delight in almost 4innings an the rest of the bullpen held it down I thought it was some very questionable choices but it definitely worked out late in the game..!!@Yankees I never seen Severino get lit up like that in my life 🤧 Sears arm looked good a few bad pitches but the 5k’s was a delight in almost 4innings an the rest of the bullpen held it down I thought it was some very questionable choices but it definitely worked out late in the game..!!For the Cincinnati Reds, the loss broke a five-game winning streak. Pitching appears to be a major issue for the Reds. Their bullpen is one of the worst ranked in the league. Alexis Diaz's dismal display to hand the game to the New York Yankees in the tenth capped off another frustrating evening for the pitching staff.Sam Roberts@RealSamRobertsThat's what happens when you throw Stanton a fastball high and down the middle. I swear, we've had probably seventy different relief pitchers this season and all but two of them get shelled every time Bell sends them out there. #ATOBTTR #CINvsNYY #MLBTwitter21That's what happens when you throw Stanton a fastball high and down the middle.

The Reds are 33-55, 15.5 games behind the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers.Dean@CappedCribYankees fans after beating the Cincinnati Reds in extras (It’s me, I’m Yankees fans)61Yankees fans after beating the Cincinnati Reds in extras (It’s me, I’m Yankees fans) https://t.co/A4Pcd08b6vNew York Yankees fans should curb their enthusiasm when celebrating a narrow win against a team that is currently last in their division.
