Yankees can’t keep surviving these bullpen blowups
NY Post
BOSTON — It makes perfect sense in this senseless Yankees season that, just as they seemed to be coming together karmically, their bullpen is unraveling in a way we haven’t seen for the entirety of their 28-year run of finishing above .500.
They weren’t going to cover up the sins of their beleaguered relievers forever. Forever ended on Thursday night at Fenway Park, a particularly bad time and place. A spirited Yankees effort fell short when Chad Green coughed up a two-run advantage in the ninth inning and Brooks Kriske melted down historically in the 10th, handing the Red Sox a 5-4 victory that ended a four-game winning streak and sent the Yankees to eight games behind their division-leading rivals in the American League East.
