The silver lining, albeit a very deflating one, is that the only way is up for this Yankees team that passed the normal struggles of a baseball season about a month or so ago. There’s no escaping the big letdown that this second half has been, but there is still enough time to regain form ahead of a postseason run.
This series at the Tropicana Field didn’t get off to a very promising start as the Yankees dropped the game last night by a score of 9-0. Despite allowing 12 hard-hit balls on the night, Domingo Germán managed to pitch a quality start, allowing a couple of earned runs on six hits, with two walks and one strikeout.
