The Yankees went into Memorial Day desperate for a win. After losing their sixth straight game and 10 of their last 11, New York sat at .500 on the season and looked to be hitting rock bottom. Thankfully, Jeremy Guthrie pitched in to help give the team exactly what they needed. The right-hander surrendered 11 runs on nine hits and four home runs by the second inning to help the Yankees out of a bind.
The beating started right away as Brett Gardner led off the first inning with a double and Chase Headley hit a bomb to right-center for their first dinger of the day.
