Giants make mistakes, waste chances at Yankee Stadium while losing sixth consecutive

NEW YORK – Too many times, the Giants have been let down by their arms in the late innings.

They put an unexpected twist on the theme in a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees Friday night. It was Brandon Crawford, their Gold Glove shortstop, whose arm let them down as they remained winless in six games since the All-Star break.

Crawford entered Friday’s game having committed five errors all season. He was charged with a career-high three errors Friday night, all on throws. While the first two ended up benign, the last one delivered the Yankees the tiebreaking run in the eighth and opened the door to closer Aroldis Chapman’s fire on an already sweltering night.
