As Yankees’ Offense Ends, So Does Their Winning Streak
By WALLACE MATTHEWSAPRIL 18, 2017

The line between extending a winning streak and starting a losing streak can be a fine one, and the Yankees crossed it several times in their 4-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

There was the potential double-play grounder that shortstop Pete Kozma booted in the seventh inning, the bunt that Austin Romine might have let drop for another double play in the same inning, and ultimately the slider that Luis Severino hung to Avisail Garcia that sailed out of sight and put the game out of reach.

A different outcome on any one of those plays could have kept alive the Yankees’ longest winning streak in nearly five years, not to mention — 14 games into the season — put them atop the American League East, a position they never reached in 2016.
