The New York Yankees traveled from the searing heat of Florida's Land Shark Stadium to the aptly named Hot 'Lanta. The grueling road trip continues while the Bombers' bats droop. Yankee Stadium's cozy confines are replaced by unforgiving, cavernous outfields. Boisterous bombs sag to routine outs. Eleven base runners were stranded, leading to a goose egg on the board.
Chien-Ming Wang flashed credible form for five innings. Phil Hughes blossoms from the bullpen. It didn't matter. The bottom line is a banged-up Bombers team fades to five back of the Red Sox. Expectations shift to a wild-card berth. The calendar says June; it's getting late early.
