ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – So, this was unprecedented in franchise history before Tuesday.
Over the first two games of this important series at Tropicana Field, the Yankees have struck out in nearly half their plate appearances against Rays pitching.
That’s 34 Ks in 69 plate appearances, including 17 more in Tuesday night’s 6-4 loss, evening this four-game set at one game apiece.
“We just got to keep pushing,’’ said Paul Goldschmidt, who has struck out in each of his last seven at-bats, part of an 0-for-30 stretch for the veteran first baseman.
Goldschmidt and Jose Caballero, Monday's two-homer hero, combined for eight of the Yankees' strikeouts on Tuesday night.
