Dellin Betances blows up. So, what else is new? Billy McKinney, just called up, does a Pete Reiser into the left-centerfield wall and has to go on the DL with a left shoulder sprain.

2-run homers from each of the big three: Stanton, Sanchez, Judge. The Orioles arrive in town next. During the first two home games, Giancarlo Stanton has been getting the crap booed out of him when he strikes out. Apparently, it's quickly turning into some kind of stupid ritual. The guy hasn't been in town for a week yet! This proves New York fans are NOT as sophisticated as they like to pretend they are. The Yankees acquired third baseman/outfielder Cody Asche from the Kansas City Royals for future considerations.
