It was one of those nights. The pitching didn’t work and most of all, the bats stayed dormant again. Michael Pineda suffered his first defeat of the season. He was abandoned by his slider and was roughed up in 5.1 innings in which he allowed five runs on ten hits. Coming of a 16 K…
The season is underway for two weeks now. The Yankees are 6-7 after last night’s close loss vs Detroit. Disappointing? Yes and no. Disappointing because as a fan you always want your team to do well.
