The Yankees rebounded from a 4-6 start by going 4-6 in their next 10 games.

 The Yankees are not 10 games out of first place ... yet:

"The Yankees enter the weekend ranked 14th in runs scored, slugging percentage and hits and dead last in extra-base hits. They have scored three-or-fewer runs in 15 of their 20 games, going 3-12 in those contests. Even worse, they’ve been held to two-or-fewer runs 10 times already this season, losing all 10 games.

'It’s been a struggle for the last 15 games, hitting the ball,' Girardi said. 'I think our at-bats were good (Wednesday), and if you put good at-bats, eventually that’s going to change.'

If there’s a silver lining for the Yankees, it’s that their awful start — which has guaranteed them their first losing April since 2008 — hasn’t buried them in the standings. They left Texas trailing the first-place Orioles by only four games, so they’re not facing the type of massive holes that teams such as the Twins (nine games out in the AL Central) and Braves (10.5 games out in the NL East) have already dug for themselves."
