Gah. I’d rather lose a game 8-1 than have a comeback fall short and lose 8-7. The Yankees did exactly that Saturday afternoon. They nearly erased an 8-1 deficit and instead were saddled with an 8-7 loss to the Blue Jays. This one was chock full of “if only this had gone differently they could’ve won!” moments. At the moment, the Yankees are one game up in the loss column on the Athletics for the top wildcard spot, though the A’s are playing Tampa as I write this, so that could change. Go Rays! (barfs)
CC HR Sabathia
So, after going 33 straight innings without allowing a home run, CC Sabathia allowed three home runs in the span of ten batters Saturday afternoon.
