There was no cat loose on the field, but just about everything else went right for the Yankees tonight. After just a dreadful loss yesterday, New York clubbed the ball, had a brilliant start, and the team won the second game of this series, 13-1. Hell, even Tyler Wade had an RBI double.
The story of the game was Luis Gil. The 23-year old made his Major League debut after what had to be the most chaotic 24 hours of his life. After Gerrit Cole tested positive for COVID-19, Gil was called upon to be the spot starter, took the mound at Yankee Stadium for the first time, and was absolutely phenomenal.
