Yankees’ Luke Weaver finding it ‘hard to make sense’ of brutal struggles

Luke Weaver escaped George Springer’s country, but back stateside his growing problems remained. 

The Yankees’ best reliever before he landed on the injured list last month — not to mention most of last season — Weaver has returned with a long-ball issue that is not going away. 

For the third straight game, Weaver got tagged for a home run, this one a two-run shot by Jeff McNeil in the seventh inning that lifted the Mets to a 6-5 win at Citi Field and sent the Yankees to their fifth straight loss. 

“I said I’ve been feeling good. That just might be a lie now, I don’t know,” Weaver said. “It’s hard to make sense of what’s going on.”
