Fresh off an 8-0 victory in their first game against the Red Sox, the Yankees went into Wednesday night hoping to complete the mini-sweep. It did happen, but it almost didn’t because something else Happened.
J.A. Happ got off to a quick start, retiring Mookie Betts and Xander Boegarts. Then all of a sudden, a loud bang off J.D. Martinez’s bat. The Red Sox were up 1-0 before the Yankees even had a chance to bat. Mitch Moreland led off the second inning with a single and with two outs second baseman catcher Christian Vazquez took Happ deep this time.
