Brendan Donovan's home run tonight

While both sides were able to push across runs, there were not many fireworks on Saturday. Brendan Donovan was the only slugger to muscle out a home run, hitting a three-run blast in the third inning for his 11th of the year.

This was one of the few games that Aaron Judge or Juan Soto have not blasted one over the wall. The duo combined to go 2-for-9 with a walk and three strikeouts.
