Yankees Commit Four Errors in ALDS Game 2 as Familiar Problem Pushes Their Season to the Brink vs. Rays
The Yankees are one loss from elimination after four errors and Cam Schlittler’s rough start, while Aaron Boone said the team did not help him.
- The New York Yankees face elimination after falling 5-2 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday in Game 2 of the American League Division Series, trailing 0-2 in the best-of-five series at Tropicana Field.
- Four errors, including three in the first inning by second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., shortstop George Lombard Jr., third baseman Ryan McMahon, and catcher Austin Wells, directly led to three of Tampa Bay's five runs.
- Manager Aaron Boone defended right-hander Cam Schlittler after the loss, saying, "Picked us up all night. It's hard to do that time after time," despite Schlittler allowing four runs over 4 1/3 innings.
- Trailing 2-0 in the best-of-five series, New York faces daunting historical odds; teams in this deficit are just 10-83 all-time, though designated hitter Ben Rice provided two solo home runs.
- With Game 3 scheduled for Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees will send pitcher Max Fried to the mound in hopes of extending the series and avoiding an early postseason exit.
