In Johan Sanatana’s 3 losses this year, he has given up a total of 3 earned runs, though he was rough in his last outing, a win over the Phillies. A.J. is on the mound for the Bombers, coming off a horrid start at Fenway. He may well have to be exceptional for the Yankees to have a chance against the Johan.

NO WAY LAR!!!! If the face of my overwhelming positivity…we cannot be defeated.
Error allows Tex to 1st…bases loaded for ARod. wow.
Great kick save by the 1st baseman to keep the ball in front of him…he should play in the NHL.
ARod almost hits into a triple play…wow.
9-0
Cano goes deep…11-0. unbelievable.
Ya, I would say if you told me it would be 11-0 in the 4th, I would’ve guessed AJ got shelled again. Go figure.
batted around this inning…
Worst start for Johan ever…craziness.
2 walks in one inning for Swish…
another walk…
13-0…melky got greedy going for third on his shot off the wall in right….
this is more like it. Negative reinforcement is dead to me.

Leadoff double for Cano off the wall in CF…
Swish needs a RBI.
Popper…1 out.
Scrub squad in the game now…
I’m out…great job Yankees. Positivity wins it. Rest up and get ready for the Nats!!!
That win should help the pytag. record!

Damn, if you take the best of Burnett and Beckett, you’d have one excellent pitcher.
Call him A.Josh Buckett?
