The Yankees entered Tuesday’s game 3-8 against teams over .500. They did nothing to show they were better than that at home against Cleveland.
With the help from some creative argumentative tactics, they came back twice vs Guards SP Joey Cantillo, but they ran out of tricks once he was out of the game.
CLE’s bullpen pitched 5 innings of scoreless ball, which bought time for their offense to blow the game open via a 3-run Travis Bazzana double.
The pentawhatever of Holderman-Herrin-Gaddis-Armstrong-Festa
allowed just 2 hits and walked nobody. Yes, you read that right—Herrin walked nobody.
TheeeEE Yankees are now 3-9 against winning teams.
