NEW YORK -- It was the loudest, most raucous cheer maybe anyone outside of a beer league softball game has ever heard for a first baseman catching a pop up.
That's because the first baseman was a reliever named Bryan Mitchell, who had pitched the inning before, had just missed an easier pop up minutes prior, and actually had to pitch the next inning, too.
That's how weird the 7-4 loss in 11 innings it was for the Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Sunday.
The defeat dropped the Yankees to 15-8 -- tied with the Orioles atop the American League East.
