When Boston’s Tommy Pham singled home Christian Arroyo for the game-winning run last night, that secured the Yankees their eighth walk-off loss of the 2022 campaign. That number is tied for the most in baseball, with only those very same Red Sox even with New York in that regard.
Nobody likes walk-off losses. They’re the breaking point of an emotional rollercoaster of a game that leaves you with a sour taste in your mouth, as your team’s best relievers — or in Wednesday’s case, the baserunners — prove unable to get the job done that day.
