The worst night CC Sabathia has had during 18 years in the big leagues came Wednesday, when the Yankees' big left-hander had to sleep in the team's broken-down plane after a rainout in Washington. Friday night wasn't all that great, either. Whit Merrifield had three hits, stole three bases and scored twice off Sabathia in the first four innings, Jakob Junis held down the Yankees' potent offense, and Kansas City beat New York 5-2 on Friday night to open a three-game series between teams that had been headed radically different directions. http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=380518107
