The Yankees have done something for the first time since 1982, and that’s lost nine straight games in a row. This is certainly not the position that General Manager Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees imagined they’d be in, but today was also important because it was the MLB debut of Everson Pereira. Carlos Rodon would toe the slab in the first game of this three-game set against the Washington Nationals, and the Yankees would be tasked with facing Washington’s lone All-Star representative in Josiah Gray.
