Yankees bats go quiet again as they get swept by

The Bombers left their bats in the Bronx this weekend.

The Yankees were locked out by the Red Sox in their 2-0 loss capping off a brutal weekend at Fenway Park. Brayan Bello sculpted up the Yanks’ prolific offense as they had no response for the 26-year-old. The right-hander tossed seven nothing innings, allowing simply three hits while starting out eight. A Trevor Story RBI single in the very first and Rafael Devers solo homer in the fifth would be all Alex Cora’s team needed for the victory.

AL East-leading New York went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position and was swept in a series for the first time this year, getting locked out for the 3rd time. The Yankees’ four runs matched their least in a three-game series at Fenway Park, from June 20-22, 1916, and from Sept. 28-30, 1922.

Aaron Judge went 1-for-12 in the series with a solo homer and 9 strikeouts, dropping his major league-leading average to.378. He has actually struck out three or more times in 3 straight games for the 3rd time in his big league career.

Max Fried created another strong performance as the southpaw tossed seven innings, permitting two runs and striking out nine. Fried’s season period is still amazing at 1.90 as he finds himself in the thick of the AL Cy Young conversation.

The ace went into Sunday 7-0 with a 0.83 period in 8 starts after a Yankees’ loss.

The Yanks will invite the Angels to Yankee Stadium starting Monday for a four-game set. Clarke Schmidt will take the ball as he aims to continue his strong season. The right-hander gets in Monday’s contest with a 3.60 ERA. Jose Soriano– 3.86 AGE– will toe the piece for Ron Washington’s squad.
