8/6/26 10:00 AM - Lights go out and Yankees offense goes dark again in latest power outage at the plate. Some lights atop Yankee Stadium briefly went dark a couple of times in the first inning Wednesday night. A full-blown power outage might have been more fitting. Missing a trio of injured sluggers in the middle of their fizzling lineup, the New York Yankees were limited to four hits in a 3-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the latest empty performance for a punchless Bronx Bombers offense that’s mustered two runs or fewer in six of the past seven games. New York drew eight walks against starter Andre Pallante and four Cardinals relievers, but went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position while stranding 11 overall.
