New York was coming off its most crushing loss of the season. The Yankees scored seven runs in the first inning off Shohei Ohtani and were ahead 8-4 in the ninth inning on Wednesday night, then gave up seven runs in the ninth inning and lost 11-8.

Closer Aroldis Chapman gave up a tying grand slam to Jared Walsh, pinch-hitter Luis Rengifo broke the tie with a two-run single off Lucas Luetge and Taylor Ward added an RBI single.

New York is 41-39, fourth in the AL East, 8 1/2 games behind first-place Boston.

Left-hander Jordan Montgomery (3-2, 4.06) was pushed back a day and will start Friday’s series opener at Yankee Stadium against the New York Mets and Taijuan Walker (6-3, 2.38).

Gerrit Cole (8-4, 2.66) was pushed back to Saturday against Marcus Stroman (6-6, 2.35).

Mets ace Jacob deGrom was scheduled to pitch Thursday night in Atlanta and miss the Yankees series.

NOTES: Clint Frazier left Wednesday night’s game in the third inning with dizziness, and the Yankees were checking for the cause. Frazier sustained a concussion during spring training in 2018 that affected him the entire season. “He is going through a battery of tests,” manager Aaron Boone said. … The Yankees acquired outfielder Tim Locastro from Arizona for right-hander Keegan Curtis. The 28-year-old Locastro hit .178 with one homer and five RBIs in 118 at-bats this year. The Yankees acquired him from the Los Angeles Dodgers after the 2018 season, then traded him to the Diamondbacks a month later. Curtis, 25, is 4-3 with a 3.29 ERA and seven saves at Double-A Somerset.
