TANAKA OFF. YANKEES LOSE.

When Masahiro Tanaka seems off, he probably is, and that usually means it's not always a win for the Yankees.  I think that was established last night.

Not alot to say here. The Yankees have been pretty good as of late and last night they could not pull out a win.  Remember when I told you in THE BIG PAYBACK that they'd score 1 run tonight? I was joking, but the reality is, many times there are situations where teams rally hard for a few days scoring double digits and then they just look tired the next day.  It happens, no biggie. Last night the Yankees only got 2 across the plate.

Masahiro Tanaka went 6 innings, gave up 9 hits and 4 runs.  He struck out 3.

The Yankee run scoring went like this:

In the second, Carlos Beltran homered and then Jacoby Ellsbury singled knocking in Didi Gregorius.  That was it for the Yanks.  They had 8 hits on the night, they left 5 on base and were 1-4 with runners in scoring position.  Truthfully, it wasn't a horrible night, they just didn't have their ace feeling exceptionally well. You know what? It happens. I refuse to get crazy about it.

Final: Rangers 5 - Yankees 2
