Before the series, the Yankees were just one of three MLB teams and were not swept this year. Their city counterparts, New York MetsAnd the Cincinnati Reds are the only two teams that have managed to retrieve at least one game in the series.
It wasn’t necessarily Yankees pitching that put them in this hole over the weekend, but rather the bats were almost completely silent, including Judge Aaron’s Al MVP frontrunner.
Except for his game in the first game of the series, his game, solo home run, he forced Garrett Crochette’s extra innings at the top of nine innings on Friday night, with the judge 11-0 on nine strikeouts.
However, the Yankees captain wasn’t the only one who couldn’t move the bat. As a team, the Yankees were 94-15 (.160), 10 walks, three extra bass hits and 27 strikeouts, including 11 in the series finale on Sunday.

As the 42-28 team knows, it’s not the path to success.
But beware of the season records. The Yankees can certainly afford a recession given Al-East’s lead despite their losses. However, those losses, coupled with the Tampa Bay Rays’ winning seven of their last 10 games, mean New York holds a 3.5-game lead on the division.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox are starting to get hot at just the right time. They’ve hit two of the game’s best pitchers this season, Carlos Rodon and Max Fried. They are currently just half a game of the third and final AL wildcard spots.
