The Marlins were like sharks.
Sandy Alcantara went the distance allowing just one run (and striking out 10) in defeating the Yankees 3-1.
The Yankees will remain in last place in the A.L. East.
Full re-cap coming in the morning.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

One step up…and two steps back. This season feels like the old Springsteen song.
For those who had the misfortune of watching the Yankees do their impression of the 1906 White Sox (the "Hitless Wonders"), at least you were not, as I was, at Citi Field to watch the Mets give up three touchdowns to the Braves, scoring only a garbage-time field goal. Still, I was under the overhang, so I wasn't in either the burning sun or the drenching rain, and any time I spend with my seventh-grade batterymate (next month we'll have known each other fifty years) is time well spent.
I have Alcantara on my fantasy team and he has stunk out the joint all season. I couldn't give him away in trade. Of course, I made sure I started him today and was rewarded accordingly.
Our opener needed an opener
