The New York Yankees got their matchup against the Los Angeles Angels started off with a bang in the first inning, as Joey Gallo obliterated a two-run home run to give New York a one-run lead following Justin Upton’s solo jack for the visitors. That, and some solid relief pitch, was the good news.
The bad news encompasses everything that transpired afterward. A game that was still a 2-1 victory ended up as a complete mess.
