ST. LOUIS – Deadbeat dads provide more support than the Yankees gave David Phelps Tuesday night at Busch Stadium.
Pitching in his hometown for the first time as a big leaguer, Phelps watched Kelly Johnson and Brian Roberts commit colossal errors and Lance Lynn turn the Yankees' bats into dust.
The trinity of Johnson, Roberts and the Dead Bat Society led to a 6-0 loss to the Cardinals that was witnessed by a sold-out crowd of 45,202.
Playing a second straight game without first baseman Mark Teixeira (right wrist), the Yankees' lack of batting order muscle was alarming. One night after scoring six runs but only bagging seven singles in a dozen innings, the Yankees were limited to five hits and blanked for the second time this season.
The Yankees have hit four homers in their past 10 games.
Phelps, a product of nearby Hazelwood West High School, allowed five runs (three earned) and eight hits in six innings and fell to 1-2.
After going 10-for-24 (.417) with runners in scoring position during the previous three games, the Yankees went 0-for-9.
Johnson and Roberts committed killer fielding errors in the fourth when the Cardinals scored four runs.
Alfredo Aceves followed Phelps and gave up a towering homer to Matt Holliday starting the seventh that hiked the hosts' lead to 6-0.
That was more than enough for Lynn (6-2) to post his first complete game.
The large crowd gave Derek Jeter a standing ovation in the first inning and in the eighth, perhaps fearing that Jeter might be given a day off Wednesday and this would have been his final game at Busch Stadium. Jeter went 0-for-3 with a walk.
