The New York Yankees lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 in an extra-innings game. Yankees' manager Aaron Boone's decision to use pitcher Clay Holmes for only 10 pitches backfired. The Brewers now lead the series 1-0.
I am still puzzled by Aaron Boone’s decision not to have Holmes who was well rested to pitch the 10th inning & protect 1 run lead. He brings in Tonkin who Trevino is unfamiliar with & we have a passed ball, game is tied & we lose in 11th. Frustrating @Yankees
