The losses keep on coming for the Yankees. The Bombers are in a three game losing streak and have dropped seven of the last eight games. Lucky for the Yankees the AL East is a log jam and they are still in first place. The truth is tonight is the night they need to turn things around. Michael Pineda is now the Clubs ace. When your ace is on the mound you're supposed to win. When your ace is on the mound and you've lost seven of eight...you NEED to win.

There's a chance the Yankees will face Josh Hamilton at some point during this series and with the way he's been swinging in the minors that might not be good for the Yanks.
