Yankees face ALDS elimination

Yankees Face Elimination After Four Costly Errors In Game 2 Loss

The New York Yankees suffered a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 2 of the American League Division Series. The team's mistakes led to an 0-2 deficit in the best-of-five set, with an ill-advised throw that allowed the first run to score. The Yankees' ace Cam Schlittler was unable to score and their defense also struggled. Their four errors tied the second most by a Yankees club in a postseason game, behind only a loss in Game 1 of the 1976 ALCS against the Kansas City Royals. The loss leaves them with long odds of advancing to the AL Championship Series.
