On Monday night, the New York Yankees’ struggles continued as they lost yet another game in the MLB season, this time 5-1 to their division rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays smacked four early home runs to secure a convincing victory, leaving the Yankees supporters dejected, despite Tyler Glasnow’s outstanding pitching performance.
The Yankees’ July struggles came to a sad end with a 10-15 record, and their current slump, which saw them strike out 30 times in two games, has dropped them to the basement of the AL East rankings. The Rays had an 8-16 record at the end of the month. The Rays won this game despite both teams having a difficult stretch.
The Oakland A’s have managed to surpass the New York Yankees as the club with fewer hits this season, which is a shocking development. The Yankees’ final score update was just posted on their official Twitter account, leaving fans dejected. The once-promising Yankees appear to have lost hope as match after match slips away, disappointing their passionate fans.
One fan mentioned, “I’m not surprised anymore, I just feel numb at this point lol.” an article from sportskeeda.com shared.
The last hope for the New York Yankees is Aaron Judge.
The New York Yankees, known for their history of victories, have struggled this season and haven’t lived up to their illustrious name in Major League Baseball. Their problems were made worse by the fact that the team’s best player, Aaron Judge, missed a stunning 42 games due to a bothersome fractured ligament in his right toe.
Back in the game on Monday night, Aaron Judge showcased remarkable discipline, earning three walks for the New York Yankees.
Despite Judge’s efforts, however, the Yankees struggled offensively, managing only three hits during the game.
The team faced a formidable challenge against the Baltimore Orioles also, enduring a staggering 12 strikeouts in a disappointing 9-3 loss on Sunday.
This defeat marked the 18th time the Yankees fell short against the Orioles this season.
The Yankees fans dejected by the losses can only hope for a miracle to boost their team’s performance.
