Friday night was, uh, less than ideal for the Yankees. Domingo Germán struggled on the mound and before you know it, the Yankees had allowed 10 runs to the Red Sox through three innings. Needless to say, a comeback was not on the cards after that.
Taking a blowout loss to Boston is always bad enough, but let’s check in on the Yankees’ rivals and see if they added to the misery on Friday night.
Tampa Bay Rays (51-22) 6, San Diego Padres (33-36) 2
Shane McClanahan went 6.2 solid innings, while Randy Arozarena drove home four runs in a Rays’ win.
