strange scene at yankees stadium. find out what hit brett gardner

in the back after this. time to check in with steve. >> a tough day today, obviously, because frank gifford was guy who left new yorkers with so many fond memories. today though it's tough to feel anything but heartache.

gifford passed away at the age of 84. he played his entire career as a new york giant, wells fargo number 16. in 1956, he was the nfl mvp title. an eight time pro bowler, hall of famer, best known as a broadcaster on monday night football. but always a giant. team president john mayeris said frank gifford was the ultimate giant. he said from my siblings and me, he was a revered older brother admired. an ebb and flow to a baseball season. ridiculous 90 runs in ten games, balance out at some point. this offensive slump is particularly ugly because it comes at a really bad time facing the team behind them in the standings. does tanaka have a home run problem? he gave up two more home runs today. josh donaldson got to him and so did jose bautista. these two are the best sluggers

in baseball. but tanaka's home run per nine inning ratio is 1.63. that is the sixth most in baseball. watch what happens afterwards. a fan throws the ball back on the field and it hits brett gardner in the back of his neck. gardy was fine. he stayed in the game. he is a trooper. the yankees' bats were dead quiet again. today they are shut out for the second straight game. they have not been shut out in back-to-back starts in more than 2600 games. not since 1999. how did that season end? jays end up sweeping the series. they cut the yankees' lead to a game and a half though. >> it's a bump in the road. we have been swinging the bats well all season. this is just an unfortunate timing of the series. >> it's frustrating. obviously, we don't want anybody to sweep us. >> we definitely took a punch this weekend. good teams punch back. >> megs looking to take the rubber game series against the rays. it was another quick start.

three in the first last night. today three in the second. murphy a two-out single. mets wouldn't let a three-run lead evaporate for the second straight game, would they? bartolo colon has given up a lot of home runs. 18 to be exact. john jaso would tie it here. a couple of innings later colon still on the hill. shaeffer gets a hold one. that's not coming back. the rays in front 4-3. the mets never threatened the rest of the way. granderson grounds out to end this one. the rays take two of three. 4-3 the final. the nationals also losing. so mets remain a game and a half up. well, jets fans, geno smith has a bit of an earful last night. he was booed mercilessly after fumbling a couple of times. he said we wished we could have seen his face because he was smiling. the jets' qb seems to have improved composure in his -- he is certainly the face of all this tough love.

he has bounced back to throw two touchdown passes to brandon marshall, both of which drew huge cheers. the jets' first preseason is game thursday night against the lions right here on cbs 2. >> the best way to answer criticism. play well. >> throw some touchdowns. >> thanks so much. at 6:30. for the entire cbs 2 news team, thanks for joining us. we will be back again tonight 11.
