NEW YORK – Heading into the seventh inning of Tuesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels, the New York Yankees were tied 3-3 thanks to home runs by Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez. But relief pitcher Tyler Clippard struggled again out of the bullpen, giving up three, costly, earned runs in only 0.1 innings pitched.
Clippard’s problems stem beyond this one appearance – over his last seven appearances he has allowed six earned runs on seven hits combined, three of those hits being home runs. After posting a stellar earned run average in the first two months of the season, Clippard sits at 8.
