Meanwhile, runs were at a premium in most of the games involving their AL rivals, with four of the six contests we’ll review ending in a shutout. Athletics lefty Jacob Lopez turned in one of the best starts of his career, tossing seven shutout allowing just three hits and a walk against six strikeouts.

Game 2 of the series stands as another missed opportunity, another weird and frustrating loss in a season full of them, but the team still has had more games like last night’s, where great pitching and hitting led to an easy win. Let’s hope we get that a little more consistently starting with tomorrow’s series against the A’s.

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images The June swoon continues for the Yankees, the team losing 9 of their last 12 after an ugly walk-off loss yesterday in Cincinnati. The blame resides mostly with the offense, alarmingly scoring one or fewer runs in half of the last 12 contests. As such, it was difficult to pick out a worthy contender for At-Bat of the Week, but there was one standout moment from Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Orioles that looms above the rest.
