BRONX, N.Y. — In their 4-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians, the New York Yankees left a lot to be desired. They also left a lot of runners on base. Eleven to be exact. Plus, they were an anemic 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
Believe it or not, the Bronx Bombers jumped on the board first. During the first frame, following a Gleyber Torres single, Giancarlo Stanton was about to take a walk if not for a brutal strike call by the umpire. Instead, Stanton took the next Shane Bieber pitch into the right field stands and a jog around the bases for a 2-0 advantage.
