Yankees fail to recover from defensive collapse
It was the Yankees' defense that cost them against the Guardians. While Torres played a role in the defeat, the entire defense struggled. Estevan Florial smashed a home run against Luke Weaver, and the Yankees defense started to collapse.
The Bronx Bombers squandered their 7-5 lead at the bottom of the 10th inning. Torres fumbled with a throw at home plate, which allowed Josh Naylor to run past the catcher.
Anthony Volpe was unable to convert a double-play while bobbling on a transfer as infield mistakes led to the Yankees loss despite having a chance to sweep the Guardians.
Nestor Cortes was not up to the mark from the pitching end, surrendering four earned runs and five hits in four innings pitched. The Yanks next travel north of the border to face off against their AL East rivals, Toronto Blue Jays.
