THE YANKEES TAKE THE FIRST WIN OF 2020

After waiting four months for baseball to start, the Yankees were not even able to get a full game in against the Nationals thanks to some insane weather, however, the Yankees were able to secure the first win of 2020. Through five innings the Yankees were up 4-1 with some great plays by the team.

Thankfully with the extra time to prepare for the season, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, and Aaron Hicks were able to heal from the injuries that would've otherwise kept them out of the beginning of the season. 

Sadly before the tarp was rolled out, the Yankees had runners on the corners with just one out but they were able to make some great plays before that. Stanton launched a two-run home run in the first inning off of Max Scherzer scoring Judge. Love this for the outfield duo.

The 2-0 lead was lost when 12 pitches into Gerrit Cole's New York career Adam Eaton hit a homerun. Cole was not too happy about this and was seen yelling into his glove after walking off of the field. On Wednesday Cole said he has actually had some trouble sleeping leading up to his Opening Day start due to the excitement of finally playing on the team he loved growing up, so it is understandable why he was irritated. But, the team was able to continue supporting Cole by taking advantage of a few mistakes from Scherzer to bring their lead to 4-1. 

It seems almost fitting that 2020 can't just let us win by letting us get a full game last night, but it is so exciting to finally have the sport we all love back.
