I was hoping the Yankees would have their home jerseys on for the first game – they were, after all, ostensibly the home team. Instead, the squad was bedecked in their road grays. Whether the confusion over the home/visitor status affected the players’ headspace or not, they lost their second game of 2020, 11-7 to the Phillies.
Offensively, the Yankees were just dandy early, although perhaps could have cashed in a little more. In the first inning, a Jean Segura error followed by a walk loaded the bases with nobody out for Gleyber Torres.
