Takeaway
– Michael King It was the Yanks’ start/opener on Saturday afternoon. King last started in 2021, but it looks like he and the foundation will try to get him back to do more starting in the future. Before the game, Principal Aaron Boone They said they would try to expand King to be more of a dump because there aren’t enough games to make him a traditional gamer.
However, King’s first start in two years didn’t start out the way the team wanted it to. Jazz Chisholm Jr. He jumped onto the first court to catch a single strike and after it left the strike Josh BellAnd Louis Araz He ran a 97 mph fastball on the inside of the plate over the right field wall to put the Marlins up 2-0. It was the player’s fourth home run of the season. The Marlins would pick up a few more hits but King came out of the first inning without further damage.

— after the offense broke out in the series opener, it was a different story on Saturday. A lot of that had to do with the Marlins’ start Sandy Alcantara. The Yanks made 2023 Alcantara look like the same in 2022 when it won the NL Cy Young Award by order, not count. To Alcantara’s credit, he was filling in the strike zone and didn’t allow the Yanks to take too many pitches.

– John Brito He came after King in the third and gave the Yankees a solid effort and kept the score close.
