Young Reds starter Hunter Greene had some nasty stuff early on Sunday morning in Cincinnati, but the Yankees made their four hits against him count. Homers from Harrison Bader and Gleyber Torres put New York ahead, and the Bombers won Luis Severino’s much-anticipated season debut, 4-1. The W secured a series sweep that was a little chippy at times, but bumped the Yankees up to a 14-6 record in May.
Aaron Judge’s day off started chaotically for the Yankees. Manager Aaron Boone was tossed before noon and bench coach Carlos Mendoza found himself holding the lineup card before the end of the first inning.
