It was appropriate that the very first game of the shortened 2020 season should itself be shortened, as one of the main architects of the absurd, tyrannical display of authoritarian muscle sat smugly in the stands. The only justice was that his team and the team of the New Babylon was beaten by the real America’s team. This was Gerrit Cole’s first start as a Yankee and aside from a first inning Adam Eaton homer, he was nearly flawless, allowing just a walk over the rest of his five innings. His opposite number Max Scherzer struck out eleven in 5 1/3 but dealt with traffic all night...or at least all hour and forty-three minutes of this rain-shortened affair.
