- Masahiro Tanaka As he said himself afterwards, the ace had nothing today. The inability to locate left him in bad counts and his out pitch was being hit out — of the park that is.

“I’m just going to go back to it — Felix Hernandez gave up eight runs in a third of an inning. These are human beings that go out there. Some days they just don’t have it. A lot of times we try to make too much out of it. He didn’t have it today and they made him pay. He’ll get back on track.” ‐ Joe Girardi (h/t: Grace Raynor / MLB.com)
