The Yankees tapped the Rockies with a trio of ex-Rockies. Some parrot punch and a Judge jolt helped add up to an 8-2 victory.
DAPPER HAPPER
J.A. Happ followed suit of most Yankee starters of yielding an early homer but otherwise bouncing back with a respectable outing. During the second, Happ surrendered a solo home run to center by Ryan McMahon and an RBI-double to left by Garrett Hampson. Settling down, Happ scattered eight hits, walked two and whiffed eight in five frames.
PARROT POP
Kyle Freeland has been a disappointment this season for the Rockies and my ESPN fantasy baseball team until I cut him about a month ago.
