NEW YORK -- The Yankees' starting rotation becoming whole again led to more misery for a ballclub that hasn't strung victories together in more than three weeks.
All Yankees manager Joe Girardi wanted Tuesday afternoon from left-hander CC Sabathia was five decent innings on his return day from a hamstring injury that had Luis Cessa making (and losing) three starts.
Setting down the Toronto Blue Jays 1-2-3 in the first and second innings weren't enough ...
Not the way opposition starter J.A. Happ was pitching.
Sabathia was knocked out in the third inning and the Yankees wound up 4-1 losers in a Fourth of July dud at Yankee Stadium.
