Last night’s exhibition against the Tampa Bay Rays was ugly, and hopefully rock bottom. The New York Yankees fell 8-2 against their nemesis from the last two seasons, and fell to 5-8 on the young 2021 campaign.
That 5-8 win-loss record is the worst of the American League so far, which is something that the Yankees are not used to. Frustrated fans threw baseballs to the stadium outfield during game play, which was frankly a sad scene.
The game included two painful errors in the fifth inning and another cold game by the offense, as the Yankees had only one hit through the first six frames.
