How does a team this good suck so much sometimes? Three losses in four days to two of the worst teams in baseball. At home! The Yankees allowed five home runs to the worst home run hitting team in baseball en route to an 8-7 loss to the Tigers on Thursday night. Garbage baseball night in the Bronx.
