Yankees’ offense sputters again in ugly loss to Braves
NY Post
The Yankees snapped their five-game losing streak Tuesday, but a night later, their brutal early season offensive funk remained alive and well.
Without the bases-loaded wild pitch the Braves gifted to them Tuesday to mask their struggles, the Yankees’ offense continued to sputter in a 4-1 loss to Atlanta on Wednesday night at a frigid Yankee Stadium. It was another lifeless loss for the Yankees (6-11), who mustered just five hits (all singles) in the finale of a 1-4 homestand. They drew six walks, but stranded nine base runners and didn’t score until Clint Frazier’s RBI bloop single with two outs in the ninth. That came a night after five hits were just enough to squeak out a win over the Braves (8-10). On Wednesday, there was no life raft from the Atlanta bullpen.More Related News
