The Yankees took the field in the Bronx on Sunday for a crucial game against a Cleveland team from a weak division that was playing below-.500 baseball for the season. The Yankees had one of the game’s best pitchers going for them while Cleveland sent a rookie with a 6.03 ERA to the mound at Yankee Stadium. What could go wrong?
The answer: everything apparently. The Yankees dropped yet another crucial game in embarrassing fashion in the Bronx this afternoon. When the dust had mercifully settled, they were on the wrong end of an 11-1 drubbing at the hands of the baseball team from Cleveland.
