No joke, he just stifled them. And speaking of the Yankees, Austin Wells had a really unfortunate decision on the basepaths. Ouch. Then, you’ve got the Chicago White Sox, who had a fantastic game against the Cleveland Guardians. Their bullpen was lights out, and White Sox star Munetaka Murakami crushed an incredible home run. The White Sox are up 1-0 on the Guardians thanks to that kind of play.
