NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The last-place New York Yankees lost their fifth straight game as Yoshi Tsutsugo hit a tiebreaking double off Gerrit Cole in the seventh inning that lifted the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-2 win Sunday and a three-game sweep.
Four pitchers combined on the Rays’ second three-hitter of a series in which New York managed 11 hits in all.
Cole (2-1) was hurt by slipshod defense that made three mistakes in the third inning alone, two by center fielder Aaron Hicks and one by left fielder Clint Frazier.
One of the three runs off Cole was unearned, giving the Yankees a major league-high 10.
