Yankees should be embarrassed after Guardians ALCS Game 1 performance in Tampa

The Cleveland Guardians provided an uncomfortable reminder of just how poorly the New York Yankees performed in their MLB American League Division Series loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Cleveland collected 14 hits in its 7-3 ALCS Game 1 victory over Tampa Bay, while the Yankees managed only 12 hits across their three-game ALDS sweep.
