If not for the Blue Jays losing to the Astros on Friday, the New York Yankees would’ve fallen to fourth place in the AL East following their embarrassing series-opening defeat vs Boston.
The loss was humiliating on multiple fronts, as the Yankees, despite racking up seven singles, finished 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left six runners on base.
