The Yankees bounced back on Saturday following a disappointing loss on Friday. J.A. Happ strung together his second consecutive great start, and the Yankees’ bats finally got to the Red Sox bullpen after last night’s dud. Let’s look at how it happened.
The pitchers dueled to begin the game. The first 12 outs of the game featured just one hit and five strikeouts. J.A. Happ shut the Athletics out for six innings last Sunday, and he kept up that level of performance this afternoon. He threw 6.1 shutout innings and only gave up two hits along the way.
