The OffenseThe offense exploded for 9 runs, on four home runs today (Grisham, Escarra, Rice and Volpe). The offense did struggle early with runners on base, but the Yankees broke the game open in the third inning and never looked back.
Starting Pitching AnalysisClarke Schmidt was outstanding today. He walked two batters in the first inning, but he retired 20 of the next 21, allowing just 1 HBP to Ryan O’Hearn in the fourth inning.
Bullpen UsageJT Brubaker would come in and allow a leadoff single after a controversial check-swing call.
