The club ranks 19th in the MLB in runs (390), 23rd in team OPS (.706), 28th in team batting average (.230), and 29th in hits (671).The Yankees are in the midst of a three-game losing streak. They were shut out last night and have scored two runs or less in 7 of their last 15 games.The Cubs are 41-46 on the season and a playoff spot looks unlikely.
