They had the potential tying run at third and winning run at second when the game ended.<br /><br />MLB: "The Yankees went 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position [on Saturday] and have managed just three hits in their last 46 such at-bats (.065)."<br /><br />NYDN: "For the second straight game, the Yanks were hitless with RISP, going 0-for-12 Saturday. That means they are 3-for-46 (.065) over their past five games in such situations and 0-for-24 over the past two. Even Alex Rodriguez's return to the lineup didn't help - he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts to run his overall hitless streak to 19 at-bats and heard some boos after whiffing in the ninth."<br /><br /><br />allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-6919967259422893992016-04-16T09:59:22.983-07:002016-04-16T09:59:22.983-07:00BRef says Rickey did it 8 times, not 7.

According to Elias, Big Papi became only the 4th Red Sox player age 40 or older to steal a base, joining Cy Young (3 times as a 40-year old), Ted Williams (once), and Rickey Henderson (7 times).<br />allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
