Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees saw whatever momentum they picked up from an emotional series win against the Houston Astros completely sucked away, as they lost the first game of their series against the Washington Nationals thanks to the worst performance of the season out of their bullpen.
The Yankees, on paper, could’ve easily bounced back in a Saturday day game considering the fact that Corey Kluber is back on the hill, but Washington will have the starting pitching advantage in this game, as the Nats will send a future Hall of Famer in Max Scherzer to the hill against a very inconsistent Yankees lineup.
