Yesterday was 70 degrees. Wonderful and warm. Today — 50 degrees and rain. The rain caused a 4.25-hour delay to the Yankee game at the Stadium. It started at 4:20 pm, and after all those hours, when the game finally came on, J.A. Happ almost immediately allowed a 3-run homer in the first.
Yanks could never make it up, although they came to within a run and had several late rallies, leaving bases loaded several times. Game ended at 7:30 pm.
And so they are 1-2. Boston is 1-3 so you know, it’s early.
The highlights and lowlights:
- Luis Cessa pitched well in relief, 3.1 innings of scoreless ball.
- Aaron Judge got a big 2-out single in the 4th to drive in 2 runs and pull the Yanks within a run.
- Gary Sanchez was oh-fer in his first few at bats not looking good but then hit a massive home run in the 7th to pull the Yanks to within a run. There is hope.
