The Yankees’ lead in the American League East was once double digits, but this week saw it shrink down to one game and then disappear entirely. And then, after salvaging the final game of their series against Tampa Bay — and thus regaining a one-game lead over the Orioles — they dropped the first game of a critical series at Camden Yards to fall back into a first-place tie with Baltimore. But what happened this week that didn’t involve panic buttons?
