Yankees 3, Red Sox 8: Brito’s blowup too much to overcome

Anyone hoping to enjoy their Friday evening would’ve been better served reading the Oxford English Dictionary from cover to cover. At least you might’ve learned something new! Jhony Brito got demolished for seven runs in just over two innings while the Yankees offense continued their toils with mediocrity as they drop the series opener, 8-3.

The Yankees’ starting rotation woes reached a new low with Jhony Brito on the mound. Starting with his third pitch of the contest, he served up an Alex Verdugo double, Rafael Devers single, Justin Turner single, and Masataka Yoshida home run to put New York in a 4-0 hole before a single out had been recorded.
