In a season in which they seem destined to make a playoff run, the Yankees saw two concerning issues continue in Sunday’s 8-4 loss to the Indians.
They had problems again with a home plate umpire — this time it was Phil Cuzzi — and CC Sabathia looked just as shaky in his return from his IL stint as he did before his latest bout with right knee inflammation.
As the Yankees ended a 19-game, 17-day stretch before Monday’s off day, both teams questioned Cuzzi’s strike zone throughout the afternoon, although no one was ejected after three Yankees — including Aaron Boone — were tossed Saturday.
