I gotta start this off by saluting my fellow staff members because these games are getting awful hard to cover. I’m not looking for sympathy or anything from readers, just acknowledging how much my coworkers do trying to come up with thoughtful and interesting things to say about a baseball team that’s frankly not that interesting.
The good news of the day is the Yankees were not no hit. Aaron Judge took starter Kutter Crawford deep into the left center bullpen for the first Yankee hit of the game...in the sixth inning. The club managed just one other hit, a Greg Allen single, in yet another dreary, downright boring loss, the 7-1 defeat at the hands of the Boston Red Sox their seventh in a row.
