Zack Britton faced 1 batter in the 6th inning.

WP: Zack Britton (1).

The game was tied 1-1 through 5 innings. In the 6th, Yankee starter German walked the first two batters, then got a ground out with the runners moving to second and third. Britton relieved German and walked the batter, loading the bases. Britton then threw a wild pitch, which allowed the winning run to score. Britton was replaced.

Zack Britton: "you don't get to control who your teammates are". Your Yankee teammates are stuck with a choker like you. Friday, August 13, 2021

... the self righteous Zack Britton quote about his teammate Domingo German this spring:

Zack Britton on Domingo German's return to the Yankees 2/18/21:

"Sometimes, you don't get to control who your teammates are. I don't agree with what he did, I don't think it has any place in the game or off the field at all."

What was the point? To be the umpteenth guy to condemn German? German had already been punished and criticized. He didn't pitch at all in 2020. He returned to the Yankees in 2021 because the Yankees needed him. He was contrite with his teammates. He worked hard in spring training and made the team as a starting pitcher. Then Zack Britton, a one inning relief pitcher, runs his mouth? What the heck?

Well last night, Yankee players and fans should have wondered about Zack Britton being a Yankee.
