The New York Yankees had a tough outing against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday evening. Featuring Jordan Montgomery on the mound, he was thrashed in the first inning, recording just two outs for his departure.
In that time, he allowed five consecutive hits, four earned runs, and two homers. He tossed 39 pitches in the first inning and now has a bloated 5.76 ERA.
The poor start demoralized the Yankees completely, as they looked weakened and tired.
FINAL SCORE: 5-1
Good news and bad news for the New York Yankees:
GOOD NEWS:
The good news, there isn’t any. The Yankees stunk from beginning to end in the final game against the Rays of a three-game series. They will take on the New York Mets on Thursday and enjoy a doubleheader against Baltimore on Friday. Hopefully, they can turn the tables and restart their luck moving forward, as Wednesday’s game was undoubtedly a low point.
The biggest positive — the Yankees don’t have any more regular season games against Tampa.
BAD NEWS:
The New York Yankees had bad news plastered across the board in Wednesday’s loss. After a chaotic end to Tuesday’s game, where Aroldis Chapman threw a 101 mph fastball at the head of Michael Brossuae, they backed up their win with a dud.
The starting pitching was awful, the offense was nonexistent, and the relief pitching even allowed a run. Overall, the Yankees desperately need some of their injured players back. A piece of good news, shortstop Gleyber Torres should be returning to the active roster very soon. That will allow them to move Tyler Wade to the alternate site, as he is currently hitting .163 on the year.
The entire bottom half of the Yankees’ batting order is hitting sub 2.00. The only offense the Bombers currently have exists in DJ LeMahieu, Clint Frazier, and Luke Voit. Hopefully, within the next few weeks they
