2. 7/27 vs. Texas Rangers, 9-7 loss
Rain seems to be a common theme for the Yankees this season. Even worse when it costs them the game, just as it did here.
The powerhouse Rangers entered the Bronx and challenged the Yankees to a back-and-forth game, which found the Yankees leading 6-5 heading into the ninth. Again, Mother Nature intervened.
After a three hour and 35-minute delay, the decision was made to continue the game. However, Kirby Yates blew the lead, allowing three earned runs. And then the Yankees’ offense was, once again, stifled in the bottom of the ninth. When 2:30 AM rolled around, Yankee fans were deflated and exhausted.
This loss wasn’t just disappointing, it was absolutely crushing. After three hours of waiting, the Yankees caused heartbreak in the wee hours of the morning. The Yankees had the game in their hands but fate had other plans in the Bronx.
