NEW YORK — While Yusei Kikuchi‘s cap may take up the headlines after tonight’s game, there is no denying that the Yankees were utterly dominated in a 10-1 loss to Seattle in The Bronx.
Pine tar or not, Kikuchi was dominant against the Yankees, holding them hitless into the game’s sixth inning. The left-hander kept New York batters off balance all night, ending the night with a line that showed just a run allowed on three hits in 7 2/3 dominant innings.
A Mike Tauchman double in the sixth was what broke up Kikuchi’s no-hitter.
