The Yanks lost the season finale, 10-2, to finish the season at 100-62, 2nd in the AL East, 8 behind Boston. They now prepare for the sudden death wild card game at the Stadium on Wednesday night vs. the 97 win A’s.
Not a good day for a tweener, Cessa, or two rookies in Loaisiga and Sheffield.
Luke Voit got two of the Yanks’ four hits, and his 2-run HR (15, 14 as a Yankee) accounted for both of the Yankees’ runs. So the record is 267 HR in a season by one team, the 2018 Yankees.
The Yanks made 3 errors in this game.
Miguel Andujar got his 47th double of the season tying Fred Lynn’s record for most by an AL rookie.
Gary Sanchez finished at .186, the lowest batting average in Yankees’ history for someone with, say, 300 plate appearances. 1970 Jerry Kenney was the previous low.
