The Yankees must have been feeling particularly ruthless when they arrived at T-Mobile Park on Monday. After hospitable treatment from other opponents in his first five MLB starts, the Bronx Bombers gave Seattle’s Bryce Miller quite a rude greeting.
Entering the contest having not given up a home run and only four runs total in his first five big league starts, Miller got torched for 8 runs on 11 hits, including home runs from Aaron Judge and Jake Bauers. Judge also apparently felt the need to remind everyone who won AL MVP last year, finishing the day with two home runs, a double, and a home run robbery as the Yankees opened this series with a resounding victory, 10-4.
