Last-place New York Yankees off to worst 15-game start since 1997

NEW YORK -- Gerrit Cole shook his head, disgusted. Aaron Hicks put hands on hips and bowed his head. By the end of the afternoon, pretty much all of the New York Yankees were appalled, along with their loudly booing fans.

Yoshi Tsutsugo hit a tiebreaking double off Cole in the seventh inning that lifted the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-2 win on Sunday and a three-game sweep that extended the Yankees' losing streak to five games. New York fell to an American League-worst 5-10, its poorest start since 1997.
