The Yankees had an offday between Friday night’s game in Miami and their ugly series loss to the sinking White Sox earlier in the week. Whether it was that or Jesús Luzardo simply not having it, the New York offense woke up for the opener of this three-game set against the Marlins. They rolled over Miami pitching and the Yankees’ bullpen held its own in a 9-4 win.
Both pitchers spun sharp first innings — Luzardo worked around a walk to Aaron Judge (what’s new) to post a zero, while Ian Hamilton needed just 11 pitches to retire the home side in order.
