The New York Yankees might’ve been entering today looking for a sweep of the Seattle Mariners, but they were hit with some bad news after first baseman Anthony Rizzo was found to have tested positive for COVID-19. Luis Gil did everything in his power to brighten up the mood at Yankee Stadium.
Gil shut down the moribund Baltimore Orioles in his first start on the back of six shutout innings, but Seattle is a team fighting for a Wild Card spot, so they presented a much tougher challenge.
