Two innings later, LaMarre pulled a shot into the left-field corner to drive in Yoan Moncada, who had walked. “With two strikes both times, and that’s always frustrating,” said Sabathia (7-5) of the second-inning hits by Smith and LaMarre. He agreed that his body, which has been hobbled by a hamstring strain, might benefit from a day off.
