Yankees’ Jhony Brito allows NINE runs in first inning before being chased out in Twins’ 11-2 rout

The New York Yankees were humiliated Thursday night when Jhony Brito suffered a nightmare in the first inning and gave up nine runs.

The starting pitcher’s dream start as a Yankee came to an abrupt end when he was chased out of the game extremely early by the fast-batting Minnesota Twins.

Brito was knocked out after allowing seven runs on 34 pitches during a first frame that lasted 28 minutes and ended in the Yankees trailing 9–0.

Michael A. Taylor, rookie Eduoard Julien, with his first MLB hit, and Carlos Correa hit consecutive home runs in the first inning as the Minnesota Twins rolled to an 11-2 loss of hosts New York on Thursday-evening.

The three blasts capped a nine-run blast in the first inning that propelled Minnesota to its third straight win. The game was the opener of a four-game series.

The Twins already had a 5-0 lead when Taylor lifted a 0-2 fastball into center field just above Monument Park to make it 7-0 and chase down New York rookie Brito (2-1).

Julien, who had led off the inning with his first career hit, greeted reliever Colten Brewer with a bang in the front row from the left field seats. Correa made it 9-0 with a drive to the right-center field seats, his first homer of the season.

Taylor homered again in the third, a two-run drive off Brewer, his third long ball of the season. It was Taylor’s third career multi-homer game and first since June 24, 2017, with the Washington Nationals against the Cincinnati Reds.

For the show of force, the Twins took a 3-0 lead on Trevor Larnach’s basesloaded sacrifice fly and a two-run double by Jose Miranda. Donovan Solano and Christian Vazquez hit RBI doubles for a 5-0 lead before Taylor went deep.

Brito gave up seven runs on six hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning. The right-hander, who beat the San Francisco Giants and Baltimore Orioles in his first two starts, Brito saw his ERA rise from 0.90 to 6.75.

After the game, the rookie said, “Nights like this are going to happen in baseball. That’s how you come back. I can tell you that I’m going to sit down with the pitching coach tomorrow and we’ll go over the video and make the adjustments – whatever it takes.”

Minnesota’s Joe Ryan (3-0) gave up one run and three hits in seven innings for his third straight win. He struckout 10 batters, walked none and retired the first 11 batters before Anthony Rizzo homered.

Rizzo also homered in the ninth off Cole Sands, who pitched the last two innings for Minnesota.

The Yankees suffered their most lopsided loss of the season, ending the game with utilityman Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the mound in the ninth.

He pitched a scoreless inning for New York, which had won four of its previous five games.

In doing so, he threw the slowest pitch in Yankees history with an Eephus pitch of 38 mph, according to Codify baseball.

Yankees fans threw themselves into the performance after the game, labeling the defeat “painful and embarrassing.”

One supporter wrote: “I stopped watching in the first inning. It was painful and embarrassing enough as it is. We’re never going to beat Tampa with our pitching and lack of clout.’

“I turned him off when it was 3-0,” repeated another. “Felt the sense of doom! It’s going to be a long season!’

One poked fun at the Yankees’ pitching situation by jokingly posting, “Pros of today’s game: IKF is the 5th starter. Disadvantages: many.’

Meanwhile, Twins fans were quick to sniff out the Pinstripes’ woes, particularly one that got carried away.

“Love to see Yankee fans cry,” one Twins fan account posted, perhaps not the greatest display of sportsmanship.

It’s my daily medicine, weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. That’s the only reason I’m still alive, I was born to enjoy and love their tears.”
