The Yankees lost 5-2 to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 2 of the American League Division Series, leaving New York one loss from elimination.
Defensive mistakes disrupted the Yankees on Monday night at Tropicana Field, with three errors in the Rays’ first four at-bats. The game account identifies miscues by Ryan McMahon, George Lombard Jr., Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Austin Wells, whose mistake was catcher’s interference. It reports four errors overall, while the headline gives the total as five.
Cam Schlittler was not as sharp as usual, and the Yankees’ offense remained subdued after managing one hit in a 1-0 Game 1 loss. New York plans to start Max Fried on Wednesday. The team overcame a 0-2 deficit in a best-of-five series against Cleveland in 2017.
