Disastrous Yankees loss to Rays sees angry fans throw objects on field
NY Post
The Yankees decided to employ an opener against the Rays on Friday night, just as they did in their loss in Game 2 of the ALDS last October. But unlike that playoff loss, the Yankees’ defeat Friday mostly gets pinned on their feeble offense and some shoddy defense in an all-around disastrous night in The Bronx.
Yes, reliever Nick Nelson coughed up two runs in the first inning, but the Yankees’ surprisingly low-octane lineup was throttled again in a deservedly boo-filled 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay at the Stadium for a rough start to a five-game home stand. Manager Aaron Boone admitted afterward that he “already addressed” his Yankees following the latest loss dropped their record to 5-8, worst in the American League. As to his message, he said, “That’s for in there.”More Related News
