Yesterday was a bit of a bummer with the Yankees missing an opportunity for a four-game sweep in Baltimore. But the team showed fight, tying it up in the ninth again before their weary bullpen coughed it up in the home half. The Yankees were missing Clay Holmes and Michael King, who needed rest, and since Jordan Montgomery wasn’t sharp through five, they had to turn to the bullpen in the sixth — an inning in which they also dealt with the unexpected loss of Chad Green due to injury.
These games where a lot works against you just happen, and the goal is to keep them to a minimum.
