Verdugo... takes a slider down the middle above the knees, 0-1 Swings under a cutter below the top in the middle, 0-2 Cutter stays high, 1-2 Slider goes well low, 2-2 Change misses down and in, 3-2. Slider at the knees in the middle, drops the top hand and grounds it to Dalbec's right but he backhands, takes it to the bag, inning over.
Bottom 1, 0-0 Criswell gives up just the walk to Soto, but needs 26 pitches to get out of the 1st.

That’s alright Criswell. Don’t worry, we’re just softening you up, wearing you down… grinding away kid…

Devers came into the game -4 in Defensive Runs Saved and -2 runs in Statcast's Fielding Runs Value, so there's that.

Red Sox dressed in Yellow/baby blue? Looks weird. Looks awful.

FB in the middle letter-high, Refsnyder fouls it off. FB outside at the top 1-1 Slider bounced off home, and Wells blocks it. 2-1 Fb up in the zone, a high fly to medium deep right center, Verdugo has time to settle, but doesn't quite catch it clean, negating whatever small chance he had to throw out Duran moving on to 3rd with 1 out.

Red sox strike first. Rodon's slider hanging.

The Yankees never gave him a chance but he's turned into a nice platoon guy against left handed pitching.

Slider backs up way high and away, 1-0 Slider right down the middle, hammered off the wall, rebounds to Soto, who throws to 2nd, but not in time. RBI double for O'Neill, and so far Rodon looks like he's got nothing.

Devers gets a FB up and in, making his spin out of there quickly FB belwow and outside middle taken, 1-1 Another FB way high, 2-1 FB outside corner above the waist, fouled, 2-2 FB ovethrown high again at 98, outside corner, 3-2 Slider stays in the zone outer 3rd, waist high, and Devers doesn't quite line it up, fouling it. FB above the zone, inner 3rd at 97, spoiled, fouled back Another bad slider in the zone, middle just below the waist, and he misses the cookie, fouling it off 1st. FB yanked outside ball 4.
Not only is his command not there, but the slider is hanging on almost every try.

Not an impressive start for Rodon.
