Last night was another bad night for the New York Yankees. It seems they just can’t win a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Although the score wasn’t totally lopsided, the loss nevertheless was disturbing. The Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was again hammered for more home runs. What is most concerning is that this seems to be becoming a systemic problem.
At the bottom of the first inning, Cole put down his first two batters but then gave up a two-run long ball to Ji Man Choi, his third homer off Cole this season.
