Yankees’ Bats Go Silent Against Red Sox, Lose 4-1

The Yankees lost this game 4-1 to the Red Sox. This is a four-game series, so the Bronx Bombers are in big trouble. They are fortunate that the American League is so bad. All the losses they are accruing do not seem to hurt them.

Yesterday was the 81st game of the Yankees’ season. That is the halfway point. The Yankees have won 48 games this season and are on a pace to win 96 games. They are also likely to make some trades before the trade deadline. How many games do you think New York will win this year?

Yankees Against Red Sox Game Summary June 27

The Yankees were hoping to get a win in the third game of this series, especially behind Gerrit Cole. However, after being practically unhittable in his first two starts following injury. He has pitched poorly since. Today was no different. His pitch count rose as he gave up home runs and hits. At one point in this game, the announcers joked that the Red Sox had their hitting shoes on against Cole.

In the first inning, Masataka Yoshida hit a solo home run. The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead. In the second inning, Anthony Seigler hit a solo home run, his first career home run, and the Red Sox took a 2-0 lead. It got worse. In the third inning, Willson Contreras doubled, and both Masataka Yoshida and Ceddanne Rafaela scored. It was 4-0. At this point, it became clear that Cole did not have it, though he again threw hard, and that this game was lost.

In the fifth inning, Max Shumann hit his first home run, and the Yankees cut the lead to 4-1. The ball hit right on the line in centerfield, so it almost was not a home run.

The Best Rotation?

When Max Fried comes back, he will team with Cole, Cam Schlittler, and Carlos Rodon to form a formidable first four in the Yankees’ starting rotation. However, with the two early home runs he gave up in the first two innings of this game, he has now given up 14 home runs in Boston. That is the most ever for a Yankee starting pitcher. The Yankees lost the game Cam Schlittler started, and made four errors behind him. Right now, with the injuries to the Yankees’ starting lineup, they are having trouble scoring runs. So, they cannot make errors, and their starting pitchers need to be precise, unlike today.

Conclusion

A lot of people still think that the Yankees and Red Sox have one of the best rivalries in sports. For that to be true, both teams need to be good, which is not the case right now, and the games need to be competitive, which has not been the case this series. The Bronx Bombers have not been bombing. Today, they were very aggressive and swinging early in the count. They made a lot of quick outs and made the Red Sox starting pitcher, Jake Bennett, look like Cy Young. He pitched for Oklahoma, which just won the College World Series.
