Well, this isn’t exactly how I imagined my return to writing postgame reports would go.
The New York Yankees dropped the first game of a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox by a score of 19-3. Masahiro Tanaka had what can only be described as the worst outing of his career. The offense had no chance to make up the deficit like they did earlier this week against the Minnesota Twins.
The Bad — Everything
The Yankees struggled right from the first pitch. Red Sox starter Rick Porcello retired the first three batters, setting the tone for how the rest of the game would play out.
