ARLINGTON, Texas — The Best Bat Show On Earth did its part Wednesday night only to watch the Yankees’ arms wilt in the late-May Texas heat.
CC Sabathia flushed an early four-run bulge and then turned a five-run pillow into a three-run lead in the fifth that Chasen Shreve and David Robertson allowed to slip out of Globe Life Park by giving up four runs in the sixth.
Nobody knows what June, July, August and September are going to deliver but it’s hard to believe the Yankees will suffer a more crushing loss than the 12-10 defeat the putrid Rangers hung on them in front of 31,304.
