Add this to the pile of “potential dumbest games of the year”.
The Yankees did absolutely nothing offensively, off maybe the single worst starting pitcher in baseball. They scored two runs in 11 innings, and those two runs came on a wild pitch in extra innings. One fly ball leaving the park, or maybe a couple baserunners not being picked off like doofuses, and this recap would look very different. Alas, we do not live in that universe, and the Yankees lost 3-2.
Domingo Germán was outstanding today, and it’s easy to say “oh it’s just the A’s”, but pitching a shutout into the eighth inning counts.
