All of the good vibes and momentum were trending for the New York Yankees. Yet, reality hit as the Boston Red Sox were not the New York Mets and the club lost ground in the standings. The offense stopped hitting at inopportune times, the bullpen melted down and other than defeating Chris Sale, the Yankees missed opportunities to make gains on the Red Sox.
GAME 1
The opening game was ripe for the taking but the Yankees left the door open, allowing the Red Sox to barge back in for a 9-6 victory.
SLOW START
It was a bit of a bumpy outing for Jordan Montgomery.
