In the New York Yankees second game of the season, the Nationals pretty much had their way with the Yankees. James Paxton got through the first but gave up three runs in the second inning in his first failed attempt to win for the Yankees this season. Michael King replaced Paxton to close out the second. It was a bit unusual because the Yankees did not roll out their best relievers in the game.
In the third inning, Gio Urchsela singled and then stole second. Brett Gardner had a sac fly moving Urshela to 3rd base.
