The errors, including three in the first inning, set the tone for a dismal performance as the Rays scored one run in the first inning, and another in the fifth inning, with a runner scoring off a fourth error by the Yankees. Only a handful of Yankees players, including Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, and Austin Wells, managed to reach base via a hit, while Ryan McMahon and Rice added walks to the Yankees' six baserunners.
To turn the tide, the Yankees must address these fundamentals that could spell disaster if left unchecked.
