The Yankees head into the Major League All-Star Break having lost a series to the lowly Chicago Cubs.

Behind a game-tying solo homer by Seiya Suzuki, the Cubs outlasted the Bronx Bombers 7-4, clinching the first EVER series win for the Cubs in the Bronx.

Suzuki added the game winning RBI with a Sac Fly in the top of the eighth scoring ex-Yankee Mike Tauchman to put the Cubs up 5-4.

The sac fly by Suzuki was the capstone of a six-run rally by Chicago in the final three innings of the game.

The Yankees built a 4-1 lead thanks to homers by Anthony Volpe and Kyle Higashioka.

Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German was sold through six innings, but the Yankee bullpen imploded in a crucial moment.

BULLPEN IMPLOSION

The problems started when Tommy Khanle gave up the lead allowing an RBI ground out to Jared Young, and a two-run single to Yan Gomes as the Cubs knotted things up a four.

The runs were charged to both German and Ian Hamilton.

Meanwhile in the eighth inning, Ronnie Marinaccio ran into big trouble giving up a single to Tauchman and walking a pair of Cubs to load ’em up for Suzuki.

Later in the frame, Clay Holmes wound up giving up the running scoring sacrifice. Holmes would later toss a wild pitch to bring in Nico Hoerner to make it 6-4 Cubs.

Tucker Barnhart closed out the scoring with a RBI double in the ninth.

Missing Offense

Despite their 11 hits on the day, the Yankees stranded three runners on base in the final three innings of the game.

The Yankees finished 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

WHERE THE BOMBERS STAND

At 49-42, the Yanks stumble into the All-Star break eight games out of first place; a game behind Toronto for the final Wild Card spot, and with the Boston Red Sox only a game behind them for fourth place in the AL East.

The players will be sporting uniform designs that both represent the city and new technology. The jerseys feature a print that blends elements of Seattle’s neighboring ocean, forests, topography, and movement of air. They will also have flashes of the Mariners’ typical color schemes. As for the uniform material, they are made of Nike DriFit technology.

From Ken Griffey Jr. to Ichiro Suzuki to Randy Johnson to Alex Rodriguez, the Mariners have had their fair share of great all-star players. It is expected that some Seattle legends will be on-hand. 

Other mega-stars appearing this year are Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout of the Angels. Ronald Acuña Jr of the Braves. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts of the Dodgers are just some big names set to appear.  

The merchandise and gear for this All-Star game in Seattle is unique. It features many custom elements with a look that’s great for the summer.
