 little rally by the Yankees they're late look like they might be able to tie it ends up as a split over the four games with the Phillies two games apiece in Jordan Montgomery tonight Jack tried to back up a really strong season opening performance couldn't duplicate that tonight he couldn't Bob he we did not see that same precision and that same power that we saw from him in his debut you look at tonight's game and right from the beginning Real Muto takes him deep for a three-run homer in the first inning three runs later became five to two and the Yankees just couldn't climb out of that hole they did get a nice sign as Gary Sanchez hit his first home run of the season but you're right about Montgomery he struggled with the change up gave up half of his hits on that pitch and that was a pitch that in his last start against the Red Sox that was a get-me-out-of-trouble pitch he didn't really have a get-me-out-of-trouble pitch tonight and the Yankee offense wasn't able to get him out of trouble either let's bring in John Flaherty and flash that offense rally there LeMayhew trying to get something going with that base hit and get a couple men on in that top of the night inning but they fell just a little short yeah guys I'm gonna go back to that Gary Sanchez home run when he had that ball into the seats and right field made it a one-run game I felt like the Yankees were gonna win this game because of what David Hale and Jonathan Holder had been doing in middle relief keeping the Phillies down obviously LeMayhew gets that base hit grinding it out with two outs and two strikes Tachman flips one in the left field and Luke Voight gives it a drive to center but it falls into the center fielder's glove so I think what we're learning about this team they've gotten off to a great start but even in a loss like tonight you're gonna have to earn all 27 outs against this lineup they're just not gonna give it to you they fell short tonight but still some bright spots Montgomery was not one of them but the middle relief was fantastic
