he Yankees lost their third straight game, setting
The Bronx is hypothetically on fire after the Yankees lost
their third straigh
find t game, setting the Toronto Blue Jays up to take a series
sweep on Sunday.
Toronto scored four runs on two hits off Yankees starter
Gerrit Cole in the 5th inning, finishing with a final score of 5-2.
As of Saturday afternoon, the loss puts the Yankees is 4
games back of the best record in the American League, behind the Houston
Astros, 5 g
house ames back of the cross-town rival New York Mets, and 10.5
games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers for best record in the league.
The loss also allowed the Blue Jays, currently 2nd in the AL
East, to ga
business in further ground in the race for the division title and now only
sit 7 games back.
Friday night saw the Yankees get shut out for the fifth time
in the month of August alone, which aggravated manager Aaron Boone.
Yankees starter Gerrit Cole allowed four runs on two hits
that made the difference Saturday
‘We should be ticked off right now and we need to start
playing better. Plain and simple,’ Boone said after Friday’s shutout loss.
‘You pour a lot into trying to shake hands at the end of the
day, and we’ve been able to do that on balance on a really high clip this year.
We’ve hit a rough patch and we’ve got to dig ourselves out.
‘We can sit here, and I can keep answering questions and
talk about it…but we’ve got to go do it. And the good news is we’ve got all the
pieces in that room to do that. I know that’s coming. I know it’s going to
happen, but it really sucks going through it.’
