The pieces had been set for a memorable moment as Giancarlo Stanton strode to home plate with the bases loaded in the fifth inning on Wednesday, representing an opportunity for the Yankees to break through in substantial fashion.

New York dropped two of three games to open their week-long homestand, slipping to 7 1/2 games behind the Red Sox in the American League East.
