The Yankees should consider holding a moment of silence for Alex Rodriguez’s bat before today’s game.
The scuffling slugger went hitless and homerless again last night in a 8-2 loss to the Blue Jays, the Bombers’ third straight loss and fourth in five games. The loss, along with the Rays’ defeat of the Twins, drops the Yankees into second place for the first time since June 12.
The Yankees managed just two hits off Jays starter Ricky Romero, who went the distance, and the Toronto offense belted four home runs off a trio of Yankees pitchers in front of 46,480 fans at Yankee Stadium.
Rodriguez went 0-for-3 last night, remaining stuck on 599 career home runs. The 35-year-old slugger looks lost at the plate, stuck in an 0-for-17 skid. It has been 12 games and 51 plate appearances since Rodriguez hit his last homer. He is batting .196 since hitting his last home run. (NY Post)
