The second Yankees-Red Sox game in London had a slightly different feel

LONDON — Baseball’s Hangover Effect isn’t limited to the defending champions, who more than halfway into their quest for a repeat still look a little wobbly. Here at the London Series on Sunday, the Game 2 crowd acted considerably more subdued than Saturday’s historic opener.

Perhaps that speaks to the common-sense difference of attending the second show as opposed to the first. Maybe it’s because Saturday’s night game allowed for more pre-partying than Sunday’s day game. Don’t forget, too, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, didn’t show up at London Stadium on Sunday after gracing Saturday’s contest with their presence.
