Jameson Taillon carried a perfect game into the eighth inning of last night’s game against the Angels at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees won, 2–1.
Former SI MLB editor Connor Grossman and I decided to go to last night’s Yankees-Angels game to watch Shohei Ohtani pitch (and hit, obviously). Connor texted his buddy Sam Blum, the Angels beat writer for The Athletic, to make sure we were correct about when Ohtani was scheduled to pitch. We bought the tickets Tuesday night, only for Wednesday’s game to get postponed due to rain to yesterday afternoon as part of a split-admission doubleheader.
