BRONX, N.Y. — Well, at least the New York Yankees don’t have to play the Tampa Bay Rays for the rest of the regular season. It was yet another uninspiring series with the Yankees mostly falling behind early and never recovering. You wonder how much difference not having fans makes because this was sleep-inducing stuff.
GAME 1
It was the night that Yankees Twitter cracked and lost its mind on Gerrit Cole. If you look at his stats from 2019, it’s pretty comparable from the early going. Yet, coming off the Subway Series, the Yankees were hoping to ride the Cole train to some momentum against their division rivals.
