After a rainout washed away their Wednesday night plans, the New York Yankees prepared to square off against the Boston Red Sox in a Thursday afternoon doubleheader. Unfortunately for the Yankees, the Red Sox came out swinging, bagging the first game with a 5-0 win.
Despite the loss, the spotlight shone on the Yankees’ young prospects, including Estevan Florial, Austin Wells, Oswald Peraza, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Everson Pereira, who got substantial playing time. The young guns managed just six hits and racked up eight strikeouts, but Florial, continuing his Triple-A form, notched multiple hits over two days.
