Well, the Yankees labored...
It was a 7-7 game before a not quite big fly flew over Juan Soto's head and scored a few. And then... it happened again.
The Yankees have now lost back-to-back series.

The way games are managed in the MLB in this day and age.........Relievers are more important than starters. Because starters aren't going as far into games as they did in the past, effective releivers have become more critical than effective starters. Starters often pitch brilliant games, good enough to win, but then a whole army of relievers come in, one after the other, and it only takes one of those relievers to not have his "A" game that day and the reliever loses that game in which the starter pitched so brilliantly in. Unfortunately, there seems to be a severe shortage of quality releivers out there, so even the best teams in baseball are now suffering with a leaky pen.
The relief pitching wasn't that good either. The Yankees should have picked up Drew Smyly when the Cubs put him on irrevocable waivers. No one picked him up off waivers, and he remains with the Cubs. He would have been an upgrade over Bickford and some of the other relievers on the team.
I would also have preferred if they didn't keep running Will Warren out there over this past month, when he was not quite ready for the majors. I would have preferred Luke Weaver, who at least, has many years of experience as a starting pitcher in the majors with many teams. Granted, he was not that good as a starting pitcher, but that was before Matt Bla…
