Clippard implodes again, Yankees drop seventh straight

The Yankees rode a season  long six game losing streak into tonight's game against the Angels, losing the final six of a seven game, West Coast road trip last week. The Bombers looked to get back to their winning ways at home and turned to Michael Pineda to silence the Angels' offense. Pineda wasn't great in this one, allowing an early lead, but settled down enough to give the Yankees a chance.  The offense would bail  him out with single runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth, but Tyler  Clippard  once again imploded and the offense faded late as the Yankees would drop their seventh straight game by a score of 8 -3.

With this set-up, the Yankees have been getting virtually no offensive production from the two middle infield spots. If the Yankees plan on winning the AL East and contending for a championship this season, either Drew or Didi must go. Unfortunately, Gregorius has not given me any reason to bel...
