Aaron Hicks’ at-bat epitomized Yankees’ night of frustration

Aaron Hicks had his chance to finally impact the ALDS.

After leaving the series opener with tightness in his right hamstring, Hicks returned to the lineup for Game 4 on Tuesday night in what ended up being a season-ending 4-3 loss.

He lined out to deep center to lead off the bottom of the first and popped to third to end the third, as Rick Porcello dominated for the first four innings.

But in the fifth, the Yankees finally got to the right-hander.

Neil Walker hit a liner to center for the first out before Gary Sanchez hit a ground-rule double to left-center and Gleyber Torres reached on a dribbler down the third-base line that went for an infield hit.
