Yankees Continue Struggles

Yankees Lose Another One Run Game To Pitching Challenged Rangers

RANGERS 2
YANKEES 1

This is not what the doctor orderd. Coming off a series loss to the cross town Mets, and facing a difficult schedule that has the Rays and Red Sox looming, the Yankees had to beat up on the pitching challenged Rangers; result - another loss.

Now the Rangers are no joke, they are a good team with a 43-41 overall record, but the fact that the Yankees could not muster anything off of Scott Feldman is a total joke!

For the second straight game the Yankees managed just four hits on the night, and never really had a chance.

The Rangers opened it up in the thrid when Ian Kinsler, who is having a great year, doubled with one out. After Michael young flew out to right, Josh Hamilton brought home Kinsler with a sac. fly.

In the fourth, Chris Davis doubled in Dan Murphy from second to get Texas it's second and final run of the night.

The only fight coming from the bombers was a solo homerun by Alex Rodriguez in the bottom of the fourth, but the Yankees did little after that.

The Yankees are now six games behind the surging Devil Rays, and the clock is beginning to tick away. Boxscore.
