NEW YORK — Cody Bellinger said it if the others wouldn’t.“Just kind of a bad one today,” Bellinger said after Monday’s brutal 7-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium.“I don’t really have many other words to say other than, including myself, we’ve got to come out with a little more energy.”By the middle of the game, the crowd acted as if it were observing a memorial service at Yankee Stadium. It was quiet. It seemed anxious."King of New York": Where does the moniker come from?Law Murray and Johnny SweetAnd the fans’ lack of life reflected what they were watching in front of them.“Today was a bad one,” Bellinger reiterated.It’s anyone’s guess how the Yankees needed more energy Monday after getting embarrassed by the Red Sox with a four-game sweep in Boston over the weekend. That debacle wasn’t motivating enough?Ugliness was all around Monday.Starting pitcher Ryan Weathers gave up five runs and was out of the game before the end of the second inning. Second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was still being checked for a concussion late into the night after right fielder Jasson Domínguez crashed into him as they converged on a shallow fly ball in the fourth inning.The sure-handed Bellinger dropped a fly ball on the warning track in left field. The strong-armed José Caballero at third base misfired on a throw to first that Paul Goldschmidt couldn’t handle.Manager Aaron Boone was asked what he thought would explain the Yankees’ sloppy play, and he deflected, instead pointing to Thursday’s loss that was marred by four errors. The Yankees have allowed 14 unearned runs over their last five games — their most in any five-game span since July 1990, according to Baseball Reference researcher Katie Sharp.
