Rough Start
Making his first start for the Yankees, Texas' Jack Leiter allowed four runs in the first inning, including a two-run homer to Aaron Judge. Leiter walked three batters and recorded just two outs before being pulled from the game.
Young Pitcher Shows Potential
Despite the early struggles, Leiter showed signs of potential. He struck out two batters and threw some impressive fastballs. With more experience, Leiter could become a valuable asset to the Yankees' rotation.
