With Carlos Rodon on the injured list, the Yankees turned to Brendan Beck as their starter on Saturday.
They had reason for hope as the 27-year-old right-hander had gone 5-0 with a 1.24 ERA at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in June. The right-hander allowed just four earned runs last month and struck out 31 batters in 29 innings.
But Beck's start quickly turned into a disaster en route to an 11-4 Yankees' loss, their eighth loss in nine games. He allowed three runs in the first inning, including a two run homer to Kody Clemens, his 16th of the year
In the second inning, Beck then allowed back-to-back homers to Luke Keaschall (on a four-seam fastball) and to Alex Jackson (on a slider) to fall behind 5-0.
Fans booed Beck heavily.
