Masahiro Tanaka had been undefeated in his last 14 starts entering Friday’s game against the Rangers, but for the first time in nearly four months, the Yankees starter recorded a loss.
In his first defeat since April 17, Tanaka allowed six runs on six hits, including three home runs, through five-plus frames as New York fell to Texas, 12-7, at Yankee Stadium. In his previous five starts, Tanaka had permitted just six runs and three homers through 30 1/3 innings since returning from the disabled list on July 10.
