Yankees’ season on brink as struggling offense struggles to win games

The New York Yankees’ season started off promising, but has spiraled downwards in recent weeks. Despite having star hitter Aaron Judge, the team has struggled to deliver wins and now find themselves 2.0 games back in the AL East. Their latest defeat came at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds, who were on the verge of completing a series sweep against the Yankees. In the ninth inning, Reds third baseman hit a line drive that was mishandled by Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham, drawing boos from frustrated fans.

Despite the error, the Reds did not capitalize and the Yankees failed to mount a comeback, resulting in a sweep. Starting pitcher Marcus Stroman struggled, allowing three home runs and five earned runs in five innings of work. The Yankees have now lost 13 of their last 17 games. Even with Judges hitting coach criticizing the team’s offensive player development, calling it “terrible”.

The Yankees face a crucial home series against the Boston Red Sox as they look to turn things around before the All-Star break. Their recent losing streak has put them in a precarious position, with the Orioles gaining ground in the division. It remains to be seen if they can overcome their recent struggles and get back on track.
