BOSTON — When does early become late? How low can a baseball team go before ultimately shrugging it off as much ado about nothing?
These 2016 Yankees sure seem interested in tackling those questions, don’t they?
With April nearly at its end, the Yankees hit a new low Friday night at Fenway Park. A new low-water mark, with their 4-2 loss to the Red Sox sinking them five games under .500 at 8-13. New emotional depths, with their best starting pitcher, Masahiro Tanaka, wasting a stellar outing and retiring Beantown icon David Ortiz crushing the game-winning, two-run homer off the usually indomitable Dellin Betances in the eighth.
