Yankees Lose to Angels 10-1, and They Are the Most Inconsistent Team This Season

The Yankees laid a real egg in Los Angeles last night, losing 10-1. This loss follows a 16-1 drubbing of the rival Boston Red Sox. Maybe this was a letdown, a big one. Elmer Cruz wasn’t that good after his strong start against the Red Sox, and the Bombers’ closer, David Bednar, came in to get an inning of work and promptly gave up three runs.

There was some controversy for the Yankees surrounding Jazz Chisholm Jr. Aaron Judge is with the team on the West Coast; he is from San Francisco, and he will take live batting practice on this trip. He could come back on the next homestand, against the Colorado Rockies. When do you think he will return?

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Controversy

The Jazz Chisholm Jr. controversy erupted during the Yankees’ 16-1 blowout win over the Boston Red Sox. Red Sox radio play-by-play man Will Flemming was maddened by Chisholm’s two eighth-inning stolen bases; the Red Sox were not holding him on first base, with the Yankees leading 7-1.
