New York came into this one having already dropped a contest to the Twins, a club that entered play on August 20th with a record 38 games worse than the Yankees. So of course, Minnesota came out and took a second straight contest from the Yanks, putting the club in danger of its first three-game losing streak all season.
You can’t predict baseball, Suzyn. Actually, you kind of can. When you commit five fielding errors, you are probably going to lose.
