It’s getting late early for the 2023 Yankees.
Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to the Braves was significant for a number of reasons. It’s the first time they’ve been shutout in consecutive games this season. It’s the longest losing streak this season (5), it’s the first time the team is below .500 since May of 2021, and it’s the latest they’ve been below .500 since 1995.
The loss put them 6.5 games back of the final Wild Card spot and 3.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox for last place in the AL East.
