New York Yankees' Domingo German on Wrong Side of Team History in Blowout Loss to Boston Red Sox

In this story:

The New York Yankees were beaten by the rival Boston Red Sox on Friday night by a score of 15-5. The Sox had a 13-1 lead after just four innings en route to a very comfortable win.

We told you on Saturday that Sox slugger Justin Turner made Red Sox-Yankees history in that win, but unfortunately, Yankees pitcher Domingo German did too -- and not in a good way.

He lasted just two innings, allowing seven hits and seven earned runs.

Per ESPN Stats & Info:

Domingo Germán is the 1st pitcher in Yankees history to allow 6 extra base hits in 2 innings or less.

Certainly a rough day at the office for German, who is now 4-4 on the season. He allowed a double and a home run to Turner, a double to Masataka Yoshida, a double to Alex Verdugo, a double to Adam Duvall and a double to Christian Arroyo.

After the loss, German now has an ERA of 4.30 on the season.

He made his major league debut in 2017 and won a career-high 18 games in 2019. He's 30-25 for his career with a 4.36 ERA.

The Yankees are now 39-31 after the loss and are in third place in the American League East. They are 10.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the division.

The Red Sox are 35-35 and in last place, 14.5 games back.

The two teams are scheduled to play on Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET, but rain could force postponement until Sunday, when they could play a day-night doubleheader.
