Yankees looking for responses after 3rd straight nothing
NEW YORK– The New York Yankees’ offense is wandering toward uncharted area– and not in an excellent way.The group tied a franchise record by getting locked out for the third straight game, when the Yankees went 0 for 10 with runners on base in a 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
“Obviously, we’re not finishing the job,” outfielder Cody Bellinger stated. “We’re not getting a lot of baserunners. We’re not triggering traffic. We’ve got to keep going and awaken tomorrow and we have actually got to get going.”
The Yankees have actually been blanked in three consecutive games 7 times in their 123-year history– however only three times in the last 50 years, most recently from Sept. 22-24, 2016.
The last big league group to get locked out in four straight games was the Kansas City Royals in September 2017.
“It’s a little bit foreign for us to go through this for a couple of days,” Yankees supervisor Aaron Boone said.New York has actually lost 5 in a row and mustered only 5 runs in its past six games, consisting of a 1-0 win in Kansas City. The last time the Yankees scored five runs or fewer in a six-game span was August 1968. In the past six games, New york city is batting.164. Giancarlo Stanton is 4 for 8 in his very first 2 games because returning from injuries to both elbows. However lineup essentials Bellinger (.152 in his last eight games ), Paul Goldschmidt (.164 in his last 17 games)and Aaron Judge (.125 in his last seven games )are all stuck in prolonged slumps.Judge, who started the night leading the American League in all three Triple Crown categories, was booed following strikeouts in the 6th and eighth innings.Boone played with his lineup– batting novice Jasson Domínguez first and dropping Goldschmidt
to sixth– however it didn’t yield results for the Yankees, who were restricted to four hits and got simply three runners to 2nd base against Kyle Hendricks and a trio of relievers.Boone implored the Yankees to stay client at the plate but acknowledged they may have been pressing, when they went up against the soft-tossing Hendricks on an unseasonably cool 67-degree night.”You want to be the guy(to) sort of get the hit, get it going,” Boone said.”But that’s where the persistence is available in and that’s where just you ca
n’t consume on the result. You can’t increase there (like )’I got ta get a hit, I got ta do this.’It’s got to be,’I got ta go take a hard at-bat.'” Even with the downturn, the Yankees still rank among the top 5 teams in the majors in runs (370), homers(109)and OPS(.784 ). They completed among the top 5 in
all three classifications in five of Boone’s very first 7 seasons as manager. “It’s been a little struggle the last couple days, which sadly is going to take place,” Boone said.”It’s simply always shocking to see our group not score runs, right? Particularly a few days in a row now.”We have actually just got to focus on the little things– believe little, big things come.”
