The Yankees season long hitting troubles reached an even louder crescendo in an extra innings loss by the score of 1-0 in the deciding rubber game versus the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night.
Pedro Alvarez’s sac fly off of Andrew Miller scored pinch runner Nolan Reimold to give the O’s the win in the bottom of the tenth inning and handed the Yanks their seventh loss in their last eight games.
The Bombers squandered a brilliant outing by Masahiro Tanaka , who was masterful in his sixth start of the year allowing only five hits in eight innings, coupled with seven strikeouts and surrendering zero runs.
