George Lombard Jr. Struggles with Rookie Mistakes in Postseason Loss

Yankees rookie George Lombard Jr. endured a rough outing in a 5-2 playoff loss, committing two costly defensive miscues in the fifth inning while going hitless against Tampa Bay. Despite previously showing clutch postseason hitting with an RBI single and a strong series against Boston, the 21-year-old struggled to adjust to Tropicana Field's turf and now sits 0-for-7 in the series as the Yankees face the brink of elimination.
