New York comes into the game with a record of 40-36 and is third in the American League East standings and is going to be looking to avoid being swept by Boston!

Why?

Because in the opening game of the three game series between New York, Boston who are both members of the American League East New York lost the opening game of the three game series by a score of 5-3 in Boston Massachusetts on Friday night!

Why?

Because Domingo Germán fumbled an easy grounder for a costly error.

Domingo German recovered after surrendering Xander Bogaerts’ two-run double and a Hunter Renfroe RBI knock in the first inning, but his inability to cleanly handle Rafael Devers’ one-out, third-inning tapper loomed large. Renfroe delivered a sacrifice fly to bring home the unearned run, giving Boston its second lead.

Gio Urshela was thrown out at home plate on a questionable send in New York’s 5-3 loss.

Why?

Judge, Gary Sánchez and Giancarlo Stanton each worked walks against Hirokazu Sawamura to load the bases, but Luke Voit grounded into an inning-ending fielder’s choice against another former Yankee in Adam Ottavino.
