Ghastly Jazz Chisholm Jr. defensive gaffe ends Yankees' season in familiar fashion

For the second consecutive year, a promising New York Yankees season will informally end due to defensive malfeasance under the brightest lights.

This time, the culprit was Jazz Chisholm Jr., Game 3's hero and one of the significant reasons why the Yankees were able to stay alive until Wednesday night at home, a bullpen game for the Toronto Blue Jays.

The ending of this game hasn't only been familiar because it featured a bad bounce and a thud on the infield dirt, of course. The most familiar feeling of all was watching the Yankees' vaunted offense stumble against a succession of underwhelming relievers, earning only one at-bat with a runner in scoring position through the sixth inning.
