Yankees Put All They Got into the 1st Inning Only-If Only We'd Make the Playoffs

Last night's Yankee game against the Boston Red Sox went against the home team after the 1st inning.  The game got off to a great start with Judge hitting a stand-up double earning him a RBI with led off batter Gardner on base.  That was the single run on the scoreboard for the Yankees who lost to the Red Sox 4-1.  Boston's starting pitcher Doug Fister (4-7) is only recently up from the minors.  The Yanks had only 4 hits in the game.  The Sox had only 3 more hits at 7 but 3 were homers.   Sonny Gray (8-9) pitching for the Yanks threw a lot of heat.  He had 9K's & a high strike to ball count giving up only 1 walk.  But mistakes were made by Gray & the Sox connected with them scoring 4 runs.  Relief pitcher strike out the 1st Sox batter in the top of the 8th but served Nunez a ball sent over the wall giving Boston their 4th run of the game.  The Red Sox now hold a 5 1/2 game lead over our New York Yankees.  Yikes!
