Sometimes, it’s evident this ragtag Yankees roster is made up of players the team didn’t intend to use regularly.
Wednesday was one of those nights.
From Jonathan Loaisiga filling in for James Paxton, and being pounded for four innings before an early exit, to a lineup that was no-hit into the sixth inning, the Yankees looked overmatched by the Mariners and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi in a 10-1 loss in The Bronx.
It snapped a three-game winning streak one night after their stirring ninth-inning comeback.
In his third start of the season for the Yankees, Loaisiga allowed four runs.
