NEW YORK — While the Yankees had been on a bit of a roll lately, the Texas Rangers quickly ended New York’s four-game winning streak, with a 12-7 win at Yankee Stadium.
Masahiro Tanaka gave up six runs in the loss, marking his first recorded loss in almost four months. Just as usual when Tanaka struggles, it was the long ball, three of them to be exact, that haunted him in this start.
With the right-hander keeping Texas at bay early, Adrian Beltre jolted the Rangers with a two-run dinger in the fourth.
