Four losses in their final five games have sent the Yankees limping into the All-Star break, leaving them one game outside of a wild-card position in the American League standings.
Anthony Volpe and Kyle Higashioka accounted for a 4-1 cushion with back-to-back homers in the sixth in support of German, but he was removed by Aaron Boone — to a standing ovation — after throwing only 74 pitches following a leadoff walk to Ian Happ in the seventh.The Yankees’ usually dependable pen — which began the day with a league-leading 3.06 ERA this season — couldn’t close out the three-run advantage.
Starting pitchers Carlos Rodon, Nestor Cortes and Luis Severino and lineup regulars Harrison Bader, Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson also were among those to have spent significant time on the shelf, with the latter two mostly struggling since returning. The Yanks had opened the scoring in the first against Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks on Anthony Rizzo’s double to right-center., German faced the minimum 12 batters through four innings before Suzuki opened the fifth by driving a 1-2 pitch over the wall in left for a 1-1 game.
Suzuki lifted a sacrifice fly to right against Clay Holmes, whose subsequent wild pitch with Cody Bellinger batting brought home another run for a 6-4 Cubs lead.
