The Yankees dropped the first game of today’s twin bill 6-5, their second one-run loss in as many games. With a largely-untested rookie on the mound and a volatile offense without Aaron Judge, they’ll face an uphill battle in an attempt to salvage their series against the White Sox in the nightcap of the doubleheader.
After Lucas Giolito no-hit them through six and they pummeled Lance Lynn, it’s anyone’s guess how the Yankees will perform against yet another disappointing former ace now wearing the pale hose. Mike Clevinger actually has the second-best ERA in the White Sox’s rotation at 4.
