The New York Yankees are tumbling after enjoying a winning streak that saw them emerge victorious in seven of nine games last week. However, they are currently on a 4-game losing streak after being swept by the Boston Red Sox and dropping the first game of a four-game series against a sub .500 Los Angeles Angels team.
The Yankees are now 40-38 on the season and sit 7.5 games back from first place after being within reaching distance prior to the weekend. In Game 1 against the Angels, the Yankees recorded six hits and struck out nine times.
