Though the Yankees remain in the thick of things, they have also missed a golden chance to separate themselves from the Orioles in the AL East race.
Since holding the majors’ best record on June 14 at 50-22, the Yankees have gone 30-38. But during that span, the Orioles have only gone 36-36, meaning the Yankees have only lost four games in the AL East standings — going from 3 ½ games up to a half-game behind.Aaron Judge walks to the dugout after he strikes out swinging during the 9th inning in the Yankees’ 14-7 loss to the Cardinals on Sept. 1, 2024.
“We know what’s in front of us and we gotta go take it,” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees flew out of Texas late Wednesday night. “Nobody’s going to give it to us, nobody’s going to feel sorry for us. Clarke Schmidt will make his own return from the IL on Saturday as the Yankees get closer to full strength, though some concerns remain — namely the back end of the bullpen, with the club set to go closer by matchup for the time being, along with some inconsistent starting pitching and a lack of consistent production in left field from Alex Verdugo.
“Each game means as much as it did March 28,” Aaron Judge said. “It’s all the same. Just because we have 22 left doesn’t mean anything to us. It’s about what we do this next game. Give it our all this next game and keep moving forward.”
