The Yankees can’t rely on their bullpen to pick up the pieces. It bit them tonight.
Jordan Montgomery became the latest Yankees starter to join a subpar club on Thursday. The type of social gathering crew that you don’t want your rotation signing up as members of.
Monty, coming off an excellent start against Boston, allowed five earned runs in just four innings, failing to eat much of anything at all the day after a doubleheader.
