As the Yankees lost their third straight game against the AL East competition that is running further away from them, they recorded only seven hits. Four of them came in the ninth inning when they saved themselves from being shut out by the Rays and even brought the tying run to the plate, only for pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton to strike out to end it with a smattering of boos.Charles Wenzelberg / New York PostIn five games since Aaron Judge returned from the injured list on Friday — which the Yankees were hoping could give them a shot in the arm — their offense has put together one productive game.
He scattered just three hits — two singles and a double — and did not issue a walk while striking out five across six shutout innings. Before the ninth inning, the Yankees touched second base only once, on Jake Bauers’ double in the sixth inning.Aaron Judge reacts after flying out in the sixth inning of Tuesday’s loss to the Rays.The left-hander, who was coming off his best start of the season against the Mets, had another rough go, giving up four runs on four hits and four walks across four innings.Share this article:
