Dansby and Ynoa. Those 3 innings from Ynoa were crucial Good call. Ynoa's contribution was large.

I completely agree, I love the old style ball and don't like the long ball/strikeout era.
But unless you're going to go to a lineup of guys who make contact and get on base and then actually run, you have to rely on HR's now. My biggest problem with the whole Nick and Ender thing has always been that you can't have TWO guys in your OF in the modern game who hit that few number of home runs. I might feel differently if we didn't have a bunch of high strikeout guys, but we do, and we don't steal much.
You need a mix. Always have. Now it's all about homers, though. That's the great thing about Acuna and Albies. Although Acuna will K more they can both steal bases and do other things to help your team win beside just HR's. Hopefully guys like Waters, Pache, and others will follow with the same kind of game and hopefully less K's.

Erlin. Aside from one bad pitch, he gave another solid 4 innings .

Ian Anderson no doubt. Amazing debut, and against the Yankees and Gerrit Cole to boot. That was really something special.

I'll give it to Dansby for giving us breathing room with the 9th inning HR and making a stellar play to start the big DP in the bottom of the 9th.

Ozuna. Literally a monster night. Absolutely. Honorable mention to young Mr Anderson for another solid outing on a night when his fastball command wasn't quite there.
