Yankees drop sixth straight, swept by Rangers in 5-2 loss

It was Bernie Williams Day at the Stadium and the Dynasty-Era stars were out in full force. This is the Yankees’ first six-game losing season in a season since 2011 and leaves them at .500 less than two weeks after hitting their high-water mark of 21-12 on May 11. Capuano was making his second start since returning from a quad strain to replace Chase Whitley in the rotation slot once held by injured ace Masahiro Tanaka.
