The New York Yankees suffered a 9–2 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers for the second consecutive night on Saturday. The offense could only muster four hits and racked up nine strikeouts, but the real issue lay with the team’s pitching.
Disappointing Performances: The Pitchers Who Struggled
Despite a standout performance from Michael King, the Yankees’ bullpen had a night to forget. Jonathan Loaisiga, Matt Krook, and Ron Marinaccio combined to give up seven hits, seven earned runs, and four walks. Unsurprisingly, the team decided to demote both Krook and Marinaccio after this debacle, creating room to potentially bring in new talent.
