When it rains, it pours for the Yankees right now. With the Bronx buzzing and a big crowd in attendance to watch Carlos Rodon make his Yankee debut, the offense didn’t just falter; they embarrassed themselves. Jameson Taillon entered tonight’s game with a 6.93 ERA and a 12.8% Barrel% against, and the Yankees mustered just one hit across eight scoreless frames as him.
Losing 3-0 to a Cubs team that was six games under .500, the Yankees aren’t facing one of the best pitching staffs. in the National League, and yet they had one of their most pathetic offensive performances.
