Yankees Take Game 1 Of Red Sox 3 Game Funeral

Big win last night to kick off the last series of the first half of the season. Pineda was great, making only one big mistake and working out of trouble at times, in a game that should have saved the bullpen from having to do much work. Girardi decided to consult the binder and use both Betances and Miller in a non-save situation so it puts us in a bit of a bind today but securing that win was important.

ARod started things early with a first inning bomb that just landed in Portnoy’s 16U spikeball tournament, and showed his plate discipline to pick up a second RBI with Gardner and Ellsbury adding and RBI each.

With Nova on the mound today, looking to bounce back from a rough start, look for the Yankees to open up the offense early on a Red Sox team that lost their best mediocre pitcher and couldn’t field routine ground balls. Just a prime example of the Sox showing, it you’re not first, you’re last!
