Yankees are embarrassed by late night meltdown: ‘That’s about as bad as it gets’

The New York Yankees suffered one of their most demoralizing losses in recent memory, and certainly their worst of the season when they fell to the Los Angeles Angels 11-8 in Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees got to the ninth inning leading 8-4, but closer Aroldis Chapman walked three batters and allowed a game-tying grand slam, the first of his career, to Jared Walsh. The bullpen allowed three additional runs and the offense couldn’t get anything going in the bottom of the ninth against closer Raisel Iglesias.

“That’s about as bad as it gets right there,” Giancarlo Stanton told Betelhem Ashame of MLB.
