VIDEO: DJ LeMahieu Hist 1st Inning Bomb off Chris Sale to Give Yankees Early Lead
By Jerry Trotta
Stop us if you've heard this before, but Chris Sale looks to be in for another long day against the New York Yankees. The Red Sox ace is on the bump in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader looking to avenge Boston's Friday defeat, but things did not get off to a good start for him. He fell behind leadoff man DJ LeMahieu 3-1 and he made the left-handed hurler pay with a BOMB to right-center field to give the Bronx Bombers an early lead.
If this didn't perfectly summarize the 2019 campaigns of both Sale and DJ, then we don't know what does.
What a start for the Pinstripes.
