After a successful weekend in Baltimore, the Yankees returned home looking to extend what’s been a strong run. They’ve been playing bad teams, but the Bombers have taken advantage, and had a chance to continue their streak against another lowly opponent. Instead, they looked sloppy in support of Masahiro Tanaka, and kicked away a winnable game against the White Sox.
The Yankees could only put together vague threats against starter Carlos Rodon in the early innings. Gleyber Torres walked and stole second in the second inning, but was stranded there.
