There is losing a rubber game, and then there is what the Yankees experienced across three hours on Sunday.
Long after taking a 6-0 lead and blowing it, the Yankees came back to force extra innings before suffering a crushing loss.
He got one out before Isaac Paredes lined a single just over the glove of a leaping DJ LeMahieu at first base, allowing Brandon Lowe to score the winning run from second. He then took off for home on an apparent contact play when Gleyber Torres grounded to shortstop with the infield in.Hicks had no shot of scoring and got stuck in a pickle, eventually getting tagged out but not before reliever Garrett Cleavinger hurt his knee and Torres made it all the way to third base.
The first was a solo home run from Jose Siri, breaking Cole’s streak of 51 straight innings without a home run to start the season – after giving up an AL-high 33 last year. Christian Bethancourt is congratulated by his Rays teammates after hitting a three-run homer in the sixth inning Sunday.The six runs Cole allowed were one fewer than he had given up in his first seven starts combined, spanning 46 ⅔ innings.
