The slumping Yankees dropped their second straight series to a bad team this weekend, losing the rubber game to the Blue Jays in heartbreaking fashion at Yankee Stadium. The Bombers took an early 2-0 lead, but couldn’t hold on or add to it. They lost the game 3-2.
The Yankees deployed the pitching system they are expected to use in the playoffs, where they allow the starter to go through the opposing lineup twice, and then turn the ball over to the vaunted bullpen. The flaw in that system was on full display today, however.
