Yankees' Slump Continues as Red Sox Deal Them Third Consecutive Loss. In a stunning turn of events, the New York Yankees, once considered World Series contenders, have now dropped three games in a row, with their latest defeat coming at the hands of the last-place Boston Red Sox. The Yankees' struggles against left-handed pitchers, a recurring theme in recent games, continued as they were shut down for the second time in a row by a southpaw. The loss marks a worrying trend for the Bronx Bombers, who must now regroup and find a way to break their slump before it's too late.
For a second straight game, the Yankees got shut down by a lefty, with their offensive woes growing louder in a third straight loss to the last-place Red Sox, 4-1, on a fine afternoon at a sold-out Fenway Park.
