Mike Ford Goes Yard, J.A. Happ Has Good Start As New York Tops Boston

New York continued their winning ways in game three of the four game series verses their American League East rival Boston!

Why?

Because Mike Ford homered and had three runs batted in while J.A. Happ who is a left handed pitcher made his first start in the starting rotation in eleven days after being skipped.

Why?

Because he allowed  eight runs in seven innings to the Orioles and Phillies. He walked six batters in his last outing . “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/roster/probable-pitchers

In this outing though J.A. Happ showed some encouraging signs that could possibly keep the veteran left handed pitcher starting every five day instead of being skipped!

What were they?

J.A. Happ held Boston to Kevin Pillar’s third-inning solo homer over 5 2/3 frames. The left-hander scattered three hits with two walks, inducing a pair of double-play balls to squelch budding rallies. “according to an article by Bryan Hoch on mlb.com

While New York won game three of the four game series Boston meanwhile lost their seventh straight game.

Why?

Because they didn’t have much offense!

What offense they did have came from Kevin Pillar.

What was it?

A solo home run! “according to an article by Ian Browne on mlb.com

New York and Boston are supposed to finish up their four game series on Monday night in the Bronx. However, mother nature could possibly halt those plans.

‘Why?

Because there is supposed to be a thunderstorn in the area starting at 6pm with a 51% chance but 7pm which is first pitch their is a 47% chance with intermittent clouds. “according to https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/the-bronx/10461/hourly-weather-forecast/334650

If they do get the finale of the four game series in Jordan Montgomery will start for New York while Aroldis Chapman will return to the bullpen for New York after recovering from the Coronavirus that is currently effecting us in the United States and around the world.
