Yankees allow 2 runs after LF Aaron Hicks mistakenly thinks fair ball was foul

Very little is going right for the New York Yankees these days, but left field in particular has been an issue going back to the start of the season.

The team started the season with Joey Gallo as their primary left fielder. We all know how that ended, with Gallo underperforming and subsequently booed until a trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The intended replacement for Gallo was trade deadline acquisition Andrew Benintendi, which was working up until Benintendi fractured his wrist.

That has left the Yankees starting underperforming center fielder Aaron Hicks in left for five out of seven games since Benintendi's injury.
