The Yankees’ offense authored one of their weakest efforts of the season, ensuring that they will finish the day at best level with the Red Sox for last in the AL East. They managed just four hits, going 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position en route to their ninth shutout loss of the season, 2-0.
Given the ball for his longest leash yet, Michael King actually worked himself into a bit of trouble in the first, with a pair of one-out singles by Rafael Devers and Justin Turner putting runners on the corners.
