The Yankees’ Jhony Brito could not get out of the first inning on Thursday night.

The Twins scored seven runs off him and Brito was on the Cross Bronx Expressway faster then you can say “Jhony B Bad.”

The Yankees hope for a nastier start on Friday night and Nestor Cortes (2-0, 2.61) should oblige.

Cortes filled our Easter basket last Sunday, allowing two runs over 5 ¹/₃ in Baltimore.

The Twinkies go with Tyler Mahle (1-1, 4.09).

Minny’s Mahle limited the Fish to one run but the Astros collected eight hits, scored four runs and tagged Mahle with the loss.

Play $50 on the Yankees.

Good game. Bad result.

The road-dog Athletics gave us our money’s worth.

Back-and-forth game with multiple lead changes but with the score tied at 7-7 Adley Rutschman deposited a Trevor May ninth-inning fastball into downtown Baltimore and the O’s slipped by the A’s, 8-7.

Loss returns us to +31 joerudis.
