Today’s matchup was an Apple TV+ exclusive in the big apple. Huge news for those of us who like to know that Rougned Odor had a two percent home run probability in the first, or seeing a camera angle a millimeter away from Trent Grisham’s forehead while he argued a called third strike. Anyhow, despite the national broadcast, the Yankees failed to shine very brightly in the spotlight.
Randy Vásquez’s first inning as a big league pitcher was a mostly successful one. He surrendered walks to Jake Cronenworth and Xander Bogaerts, but escaped any damage by striking out former Yankee great Odor on a 96-mph heater up in the zone.
