Surprised that no one has chalked up that loss to the BABIP gods. The Yankees had four fly ball singles in that game (all cheap bloops), which is somewhat more than three more than expected. That's worth about 2.5 runs on average, or a bit more. And that's ignoring the fact that three of those cheap hits came in succession immediately preceding the number 3 and 4 hitters in the lineup.
They've had some breaks go their way recently, so you can't bitch too much about a game like this one.
