Despite having just four hits and being shutout through the first eight innings, the Yankees had multiple chances to come away with a win late in Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.
But in a continuance of what's been a week to forget for the Yankees, they couldn't push a run through when they needed it most, falling 6-2 in 11 innings in their seventh straight loss.
After scoring a couple of runs to tie the game at 2-2 in the ninth, the Yankees had Anthony Volpe thrown out trying to steal second base for a pivotal second out. In the 10th, New York had a runner at third with one out (the game-winning run), but Oswaldo Cabrera and Ali Sanchez both went down swinging.
In the 11th, Camilo Doval had two outs with a runner on third, but he followed an intentional walk with two more walks, and things snowballed from there.
"Tough one… had chances in the ninth and certainly in the 10th to put it away and weren't able to do it," manager Aaron Boone said after the game. "Then we get two outs and man on third there (in the 11th) and ahead 0-2 with (Hao-Yu) Lee and can't get back in the zone.
