You never want to lose heading into an off-day, but something tells me the Yankees didn’t have too bad of a flight back home. Though a shutout loss to the Rangers left a sour final note as the Bombers headed to New York, the setback still left them with a stellar 7-2 record on a long road trip through Boston and Texas. Now, the Yankees can settle back and look to protect home turf, as they start off a four-game set with the Orioles in the Bronx tonight.
