The Bronx Bombers lost the series closer 14-1, tying 2-2 in four games. It was a total meltdown, with the batting lineup and bullpen failing to produce. It was a nightmare game for the Yankees, who gave up 12 runs across the 3rd and 4th innings. That took away any chance of them winning, as they recorded six hits and one run.?
After a demoralizing loss, the team looks forward to Aaron Judge’s return as he recovers, to regain its legacy. Let’s examine what fans say about Rizzo meeting Bon Jovi and the horrific result.?
