Before the game, I thought that the Yankees needed a laugher. After a stressful and disappointing West Could trip, they could use a blowout. A double digit win or something to inspire confidence in the clubhouse and with the fans, you know? That’s exactly what they got, as the Bombers took game one against the Blue Jays by a score of 11-0.
The Yankees wasted little time on Friday night, jumping out to a five-run lead in the first inning. It started when Andrew McCutchen opened the game with a leadoff double.
