May as well in this case.
Other options would been Bruihl(not really an option...), or Hoffman going for a 1.2 IP save.
Actually no, yimi had to face Judge as his 3rd hitter. Only other option then would be a 2 inning save from Hoffman, or putting in Hoff for the 8th and Yimi for the 9th. Kinda doubt that would be the plan
