Though,

Could mother nature prevent Gerrit Cole, Jalen Beeks from making their starts for New York, Tampa Bay?

I would say there is a chance of that happening as it’s cloudy with a 20% chance of rain at first pitch before it’s cloudy and chances of rain increases 34 % an hour after the game begins then it’s cloudy with a 34% of rain at 9:00pm before there is a cloudy with a 40% chance of rain by the time the game is supposed to be over.

New York manager Aaron Boone had this to say about New York’s 3-0 loss about them being shutout!

We got shut out today, and that’s going to happen over a long haul,”You try to take a bigger snapshot look, and the offense has been going pretty solid. You’re going to have these games where you struggle a little bit, a couple of guys out of the lineup, beat up a little bit. A hot pitcher can make it tough on a given night.”

Though,

New York manager Aaron Boone wasn’t the only one to share his thoughts about New York’s 3-0 loss as Aaron Judge, DJ Lemahieu Jameson Taillon who started the New York, Boston did as well saying We’ve got a lot of guys coming back,”These guys are going to step up. We’ve still got a good ballclub here, capable of going out there to win every single game. We’ve just got to pick each other up and move on.” Not our best road trip. We’re all frustrated,”one of the aforementioned players missing from Sunday’s lineup, nursing a sore right big toe. “I think all of us can pick it up a little bit. We know how good of a team we are. We just haven’t been playing like it.”

Earlier in the year, when things were really going our way, it seemed like everyone was just doing their thing at the same exact time,”It helps that we have a lot of veterans in here, guys who have done it for a long time. It doesn’t seem like there’s too much panic or anything.”
