Well, that was almost a nice series win to start the season. Instead, the Yankees were not able to hold on to a 4-1 lead and melted down to a 7-4 loss Sunday. Sonny Gray labored through four innings and Chad Green was the only reliever not to allow runs. Both Tommy Kahnle and David Robertson allowed big homers to Justin Smoak to let it slip. There’s the first L of the season that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
Taking the lead
Both starting pitchers had a knack for stacking up baserunners in the first couple innings.
