Access the Yankees beat like never before
Don’t miss Greg Joyce’s text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he’s giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees.
The pitch is a knuckle-curve, and the pitcher who knuckled the Yankees under on this raw, cold night was a Jersey Guy named Zac Gallen.
All Zac Gallen did was deliver this sobering message to the Yankees: Damn the torpedoes. Damn your torpedoes. He drove them batty.
Damn Yankees struck out 13 times during Zac Gallen’s 6 ²/₃ innings of three-hit shutout ball. It tied his career high.
He turned them into the Hole in the Bat Gang.
