There's something about this year's Yankees that just causes them to fold when they go to Fenway Park to play the Red Sox. They plate plenty of runs, bring their fireballing pitchers, then somehow end up on the wrong end of the score each time.
Tonight was no exception. New York had more hits than Boston (11 to 9) yet fell behind early and ended up losing the game 6-5.
The Yanks have now lost eight in a row to the Red Sox, and no amount of nice batting averages can reverse that statistic, which will continue to hang heavy in a tight American League East.
(Mark Teixeira, however, has continued to hit well, keeping the Yankees afloat. The man with the low-.200 average for most of the season now has the highest batting average of all Yankees, including team leads in home runs (19, American League lead) and RBIs (52, third in American League). Now for the wins, right?)
