Great Tragedy has before yankees as the team prolific star has announced his resig……
The Major League Baseball regular season began last week in Seoul, South Korea, and continuing on that trend, the Yankees headed down to Mexico City to continue their spring exhibition schedule. The home team got the better of New York in a 4-3 victory highlighted by the feats of one of their stars of yore.
Mariano Rivera threw out the first pitch, to begin what would be some exciting international baseball south of the border.
The Yankees went down quietly in the first against Trevor Bauer, Anthony Volpe sent a ball to the warning track and Oswaldo Cabrera walked, but nothing of much substance. Franklin Barreto led off for the Diablos Rojos with a single, but was erased on a double play ball off the bat of old friend Robinson Canó.
The Yanks began to put Bauer on the ropes in the second, after Jose Trevino and Grant Richardson singled, and Greg Allen walked to load the bases for Anthony Volpe. Bauer, however, would get the Yanks shortstop to flail at an outside slider to escape unscathed. They got back at it in the third, as Cabrera reached for his second time on a single and Oscar Gonzalez followed with the same. But Bauer was once again able to escape without any damage after Jose Rojas and Trevino were retired to end the frame.
