The Yankees were hoping to get back on track tonight in the Kingdome, but they were blown out instead by a score of 10-2. Their losing streak has now reached four games after getting swept in the three-game series against Seattle.
Thanks to Oakland, who beat Baltimore 3-0, the Yankees still maintain a four-game lead in the division. However, after being up by as many as 12 games three-and-a-half weeks ago, it feels like the Yankees are on the outside looking in at the playoffs.
Dwight Gooden started tonight and went 5.2 innings, giving up eight runs on nine hits while walking six.
