A few notes on some ex-Yankees.
That bum Frankie Montas is 2-0 with an 0.77 ERA after two starts for the Reds.
Kyle Higashioka of the Padres became only the sixth catcher of the expansion era (since 1961) to throw out multiple baserunners and hit a home run in the same inning. The others were Sammy Taylor in 1961, John Romano in 1966, Ted Simmons in 1975, Joe Ferguson in 1977 and Benji Molina in 2000. I don't know how they track records like that.
Joey Gallo, currently playing first base for the Nationals, got his first hits of the season, raising his average to .188. He is on a quest for his fifth straight sub-.200 BA year. I can't believe that's happened too many times.
Not Yankee-related, but the peripatetic Athletics finished a seven-game homestand drawing just over 45,000 fans. They're on a pace for under 500,000 for the year. If as appears possible they crash in Sacramento for three years before coming to Vegas, that 10,000 capacity minor league park (14,000 with lawn chairs included) should be more than adequate.
