The New York Yankees continued their downward spiral with a loss to the New York Mets Saturday and now must play a doubleheader.

The New York Yankees just can’t catch a break. The team dropped to 41-40 with a rain-soaked 8-3 loss to the New York Mets at Yankee Stadium on Saturday. Now, whoever wins the series depends on who performs best in a Sunday doubleheader

With Saturday’s win and the Washington Nationals’ loss, the Mets remain atop the NL East with a 3.5 game lead. The Yankees remain in fourth place in the AL East, 9.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox.
