The Yankees were never really going to go 162-0. Even though tonight’s game began the same way the previous two victories did, with the Red Sox scoring in the first inning, the Yankees were unable to complete the comeback on Sunday night, losing 4-3 in the Bronx.
The game got off to a scary start in the first inning, when Jordan Montgomery was hit by a 102.8 mph comebacker on the back of the knee. The lefty went down hard, and after being examined by the Yankee staff, stayed in the game. One can wonder if that was the right idea, as JD Martinez drilled a two-run double off him and he hit a batter before getting out of the inning.
