The New York team initially got off to a good start with Giancarlo Stanton two-run homer, but then their sharpness faded as they were overwhelmed by a stronger Colorado side.

With the result the Yankees are tied for last place in the AL East this late in a season for the first time since Aug. 23, 1992.

“I’m not worried about where we are,” manager Aaron Boone said. “It’s all in front of us. We don’t have to go on an incredible run. We all know we have to play better than we have been playing. We have to generate more, it’s as simple as that.”
