April 18: WTF cold bats
All of the momentum from the sweep of the Red Sox was quickly erased in a boring 6-1 loss to Kansas City on Thursday night. Four singles. The only run was scored on an out (sac fly). Gross.
Domingo German was hit hard in the first few innings, before he settled down and ultimately gave the Yankees a “quality start” (six innings, three runs). German had allowed just three singles to the 50 batters he faced in his first three outings… And then the regression-dragon smacked him right in the face, as two of the first three batters he faced on Thursday hit doubles and two more guys later added solo homers.
