By the time Chad Green was finally summoned from the bullpen Monday night, the Yankees had already allowed the Red Sox to take a commanding lead in Game 3 in The Bronx.
Green seemed like the logical choice to take over for Luis Severino after Severino loaded the bases with no one out in the top of the fourth, but Lance Lynn was brought in instead, and the three-run triple Lynn gave up to Andrew Benintendi all but ended the Yankees’ hopes of a comeback in a 16-1 loss.
But Green’s performance, once he did get in the game, didn’t do much to support the second-guessers of Aaron Boone, since he hardly helped matters after entering a 7-0 game.
