The first game of Sunday’s doubleheader looked promising before turning into one of the most painful losses in recent memory, as the Yankees won 8-7 in walkoff fashion. Rick Porcello was surprisingly solid and the Mets’ scored plenty of runs, but some poor bullpen management and another implosion from Edwin Diaz quickly soured the afternoon game.
Like Saturday, the Yankees got on the board early. DJ Lemahieu made Porcello’s life difficult, working an 11-pitch leadoff walk, and Luke Voit followed up with an absolute bullet that ripped through JD Davis’s glove and trickled rolled into left field for a double.
