Yankees 12, White Sox 3: Jeff Samardzija bombed in finale

This game had a little too much April in the White Sox for my liking. I'm guessing I'm not alone with this sentiment.

You had:

*Jeff Samardzija giving up a first-inning run on the second pitch of the game.

*The offense taking a lot of wild swings against Ivan Nova, which made those baserunners more precious.

*A pop-up dropping behind shortstop with one out in the fourth (a shift on Brian McCann meant everybody pursued it at an unnatural angle and nobody took charge)

*Samardzija not taking the error well, giving up five runs in the fourth, then three more in the fifth (although two scored on Scott Carroll's watch.
