Yankees’ slugging hits overshadowed by weak pitching
The New York Yankees, four time champions, slump behind Detroit Chicago and St Louis as pitchers struggle to hold opponents. In recent games they scored over 4 runs per game while allowing 63 runs in six games, with only four starters going the distance and the staff shuffled to cover games. Home runs totaled 20 in eight games prior to Sunday’s doubleheader against the White Sox, Chandler Dickey and Dahlgren each with a round tripper. The first game featured six homers but the Yankees still won by a single run.
