That was the kind of game the Yankees are built to win. They were up two runs with seven outs to go and their vaunted bullpen was well-rested, yet five batters later the Red Sox were leading 4-2. That was the final score. The Yankees: they’re bad! It’s Friday night and I haven’t done one of these yet this season, so let’s recap with bullet points:
- One Batter Too Long: Masahiro Tanaka was in total control for six innings Friday night. He held the BoSox to three singles in those six innings, then, in the seventh, the Red Sox strung together three hits to tie the game 2-2.
