Beau Brieske gave the Tigers every opportunity to win on Saturday in the Bronx, but another ghastly performance by the offense betrayed him as the Yankees took the second game of the series 3-0.
As we’ve seen in his seven major league starts prior to Saturday’s outing in New York, Beau Brieske has an odd predilection for giving up a home run to the first batter he faces, often on the first pitch. Hard to explain that one, but it happened again in this one. The very first pitch he threw was clubbed for a solo shot to right center field by Aaron Judge.
