It was a brutal series as the New York Yankees found themselves behind the eight-ball for the majority of the weekend against the Boston Red Sox. As NFL training camps were opening, the Red Sox were throwing up some New England Patriots’ scores against Yankee starting pitchers. Although they dropped three of four, thankfully the Bronx Bombers righted the ship Sunday night and escaped Boston with a 10-game lead in the loss column.
GAME 1
The trend of terrible Yankee starting pitching carried its way to the Hub. It’s gotten so bad that even the crowded bullpen of mop-up guys are overtaxed, and Aaron Boone resorted to finishing out the 19-3 loss with catcher Austin Romine on the bump.
