Just as it seemed the Yankees were truly firing on all cylinders, they’ve stumbled into their latest bump in the road. They’ve lost two straight, with both contests turning noncompetitive by the middle innings. The offense has looked lethargic the last two nights, with four of the six runs scored coming in the ninth innings of games already out of reach. On the other side of the ball, the pitching has gotten knocked around for 21 runs, 11 of which were credited to the starters through the first three innings of their respective outings. Not good.
The Bombers need to turn it around, as these upcoming games still hold a lot of weight.
