NEW YORK — After honoring their historic 125-win championship team of 1998, the New York Yankees gave another performance that showed how far the franchise has fallen.
Jonathan Loáisiga allowed a go-ahead homer to No. 9 hitter Tyrone Taylor to start a three-run eighth inning Saturday and the Yankees fell two games below .500 with a 9-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
New York had four hits and managed just seven in the first two games of the series, getting outscored 13-0 from the seventh inning on. The Yankees (70-72) have lost three straight by a combined 27-7 after winning eight of nine and are in danger of their first losing season since 1992.
