On the eve of the trade deadline, a packed house in Yankee Stadium was glued to social media, anxiously awaiting news of an imminent trade.
In that quietly busy atmosphere, the New York Yankees fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks by a score of 4-2.
For the first time since July 18, the Yankees received a quality start from their rotation. J.A. Happ tossed six innings, allowing only three runs on eight hits.
Unfortunately, the offense didn’t take advantage of Happ’s solid start.
Only three Yankees registered a hit tonight. Edwin Encarnacion notched a single and an RBI double while Gio Urshela chipped in with a couple of singles.
