Since the All-Star break, however, they have been playing like one of the worst teams in the league.The series against the Mets is as close to a 'must win' as it can get in the regular season. The Yankees have lost six straight series and should be desperate to prevent the streak from getting to seven. Anthony Rizzo understands that, even if he lets his emotions get the better of him while in the moment.
