Domingo Germán strutted off the mound after a dominant seventh inning, having protected a bid for history with a four-strikeout inning against the heart of the Red Sox’s lineup. His pitches were crisp, his performance was electric and he knew exactly what was in the hit column.
By the end of the eighth, Germán was hanging his head in the visiting dugout alongside the rest of his teammates. Germán surrendered a loud double, then had to watch as the Red Sox rallied for five runs, dealing the Yankees a 5-4 defeat Sunday that immediately ranked among the club’s worst losses of their season.
