“#Terrible Yankees blanked by Phillies in embarrassment<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Brett Gardner said the biggest problem for the Yankees this season comes down to one issue: \u201cConsistency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lately, though, they\u2019ve been plenty consistent. Consistently bad.<\/p>\n

That trend continued Sunday, as the Yankees lost for the seventh time in nine game<\/a>s in a 7-0 defeat to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.<\/p>\n

Domingo German was awful, the offense nonexistent and Rougned Odor became the latest Yankee to get thrown out at third base on a ground ball to the shortstop, as their fundamental baserunning skills show no signs of improving.<\/p>\n

Their next game is Tuesday against the Blue Jays in Buffalo \u2014 a fitting setting for a team that\u2019s playing as if it belongs in the minors.<\/p>\n

The latest loss dropped the Yankees a season-high 8 \u00bd games back of first-place Tampa Bay and just one game over .500 (33-32).<\/p>\n

Searching for positivity, the Yankees have often talked about their starting pitching, but the rotation is nothing special these days. Their starters have a 6.16 ERA in the past 14 games.<\/p>\n

German contributed with his worst outing of the season, allowing seven runs in 4 \u00b9\/\u2083 innings on a day the Yankees were desperate for length.<\/p>\n

A day after the Phillies opened the game with four straight baserunners against Jameson Taillon, they teed off early against German.<\/p>\n

Odubel Herrera led off with a single and moved to third on a base hit by Jean Seguro. An infield single by J.T. Realmuto scored Herrera to put the Yankees in another early hole.<\/p>\n

A fine play by Gleyber Torres helped the Yankees avoid further damage. Bryce Harper lined a shot up the middle that Torres backhanded and flipped to second to get Realmuto and then Segura got caught in a rundown between second and third for the second out. German got Rhys Hoskins to fly to right to end the inning.<\/p>\n

But German allowed a leadoff double to Andrew McCutchen in the second and Alec Bohm followed by ripping a single to right.<\/p>\n

With runners on the corners, German got Ronald Torreyes to pop out before Phillies starter Aaron Nola, unable to get a bunt down, whiffed.<\/p>\n

German failed to get out of the inning unscathed, as Herrera then ripped a double to left to drive in McCutchen and make it 2-0 and Segura\u2019s base hit up the middle scored two more.<\/p>\n

With Realmuto at the plate, LeMahieu misplayed a pickoff attempt from German, which allowed Segura to get all the way to third.<\/p>\n

Pitching coach Matt Blake finally went to talk to German on the mound and German got Realmuto to ground out to finally end the inning with the Yankees trailing 4-0 for a second consecutive day.<\/p>\n
