In the past couple weeks, the Yankees have suffered some unfathomably brutal losses.
On June 30th (or really the early hours of July 1st), Aroldis Chapman blew a four-run lead in just a third of an inning. The Yankees eventually allowed seven runs in the inning and lost the game after a long day that included multiple rain delays. Just last Sunday, Chad Green couldn’t hold a five-run lead against the Astros, costing the Yankees a much-needed sweep in Houston.
Not to mention that in between those games, the Yankees allowed six runs in the seventh and final inning of the first game of a doubleheader against the Mets.
