New York – An error that characterizes the current state of New York Yankees, which is found in the middle of their second sequence of six consecutive defeats in three weeks, occurred in front of 41,401 fans at Citi Field on Saturday, and almost no one has noticed.
The Yankees jogging out of the field after obtaining the third of the fourth round of their 12-6 defeat against the food when the Anthony Volpe stop stop, as is standard for the teams through baseball at the end of the sleeves, launched the ball to the right defender Aaron judges while he was crossing the field in the right field.
Only the judge did not look, and the ball nailed him in the head, overthrowing his sunglasses and leaving a small cut near his right eye. The injury required bandage to stop bleeding, but the judge stayed in the game.
“Confusion,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone. “I didn’t know what had happened at the start. [It just] I felt like something had happened. Of course, I was a little worried. “”
Avoiding an injury to the best baseball player was on the very short list of the positive points of the Yankees in another sloppy and draining defeat with their crosstown rivals. With the defeat, the Yankees, who held a three -game advance on the Blue Jays in Toronto in the US League East League ranking on June 30, are tied with the Rays of Tampa Bay for the second place of three games behind the Blue Jays heading to the final of the Subway series on Sunday.
The nose was powered by a disorderly defense and exhausted pitching staff who met a wall.
“It was a terrible week,” said Boone, who, before the match, announced that leaving Clarke Schmidt will likely undergo Tommy John surgery at the end of the season.
For the second consecutive day, the dishes capitalized on errors and fell in time. After hitting three circuits when opening the Friday series, the dishes reached three other Saturdays – a large slam in the first round of Brandon Nimmo to take a 4-0 lead and two circuits of Pete Alonso to widen the gap.
The Nimmo explosion – his second big slam in four days – came after Yankees’ field player Jasson Dominguez, played a ball struck by the head striker in the first round. Friday, he misunderstood the Nimmo line and watched her navigate his head for a double. On Saturday, it was slow to react to the Starling Marte flyball in the field gap in the center left and braked without catching it or stopping it, allowing Marte to progress second for a double. The starter of the Yankees Carlos Rodon then walked two strikers to load the bases of Nimmo, who pulled a mistake, a 1-2 cursor on the wall.
“This cursor must probably have broken down,” said Rodon, who granted seven points (six deserved) on five rounds. “Lots of failures today and they have punished them.”
The launching problems of Jazz Chisholm Jr. at the third basis – a position that the Yankees asked him to play to welcome the DJ Lemahieu to the second goal – continued in the second round when he aligned the Tyrone Taylor background and sailed on a draw during the head of the first goal Cody Bellinger. Taylor received the second goal and scored a few moments later on Marte’s single RBI.
The Yankees were accused of their second error in the seventh round of four -round dishes when the central defender Trent Grisham instructed Francisco Lindor’s single in the middle and bounced him on the heel of his glove.
The error allowed a race to score from the second goal without throwing, extending the advance of the three -point food after the Yankees chicked their deficit, and allowed a Lindor warning to go to the second goal. Lindor later scored on the second Home Run in Alonso, an explosion of three points on the left -handed Jayvien Sandridge during the beginnings in the major league of the launcher.
“Just play better,” said the judge. “This is what it comes down. These are the fundamental principles. Having a routine game, a routine. It’s just the little things. This is what is somehow. But each good team goes through a few bumps on the road.”
This six -game losing skid was very different from the first of the Yankees. This approximate patch, made up of losses against the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Angels, was propelled by offensive problems. The Yankees scored six points in the six games and only granted 16 years. This time, prevention of the race is the problem; The Yankees scored 34 points and awarded 54 in four games against the Blue Jays in Toronto and two in the Queens.
“The offensive is starting to swing the bat, putting shopping on the board,” said Boone. “The pitch, which has worn us a lot this season, really, really fought this week. We have not caught the ball as well as I think we should.
“So, look, when you live it and cross it, it sucks, it hurts. But you have to be able to manage it. You must be able to face it. You must be able to resist it and get out and grow.”
