If you tuned in to the first game of the Red Sox – Yankees series on Thursday night you were treated to a one-sided beating. The New York offense is vaunted as one of the best in the league and on many nights seems unstoppable. But it was the Boston bats that couldn’t be stopped and the Yankees were all but silent thanks to the strong pitching of Rick Porcello.
One man that exploded at the plate on Thursday was Brock Holt. No, he didn’t hit a moon bomb or knock-in a bunch of runs but he did set off some fireworks.
