You could rationalize it with details of how many key players have gone down for the Yankees, you could argue that it’s a matchup problem or you could say that the other team simply has their number right now. What you can’t explain away is the results, and Wednesday’s result is a 4-2 loss to the Rays.
You could start with the bullpen, and how things tipped in the Rays’ favor, but it might be more important to highlight how the offense has played of late. The Yankees went 0-for with runners in scoring position tonight, something that has been dogging them of late.
