last night's loss

Cooling off for real reasons. Dropped last night by 6 and the temperature took a hit. And only 3.0 R/G over the last 7. The offense is a drag on the score.

Yankees News

The New York Yankees are in a precarious position after narrowly avoiding a sweep against the Dodgers, thanks to Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s clutch eighth-inning homer that broke a tie and sparked a much-needed 2-1 win. This victory came on the heels of a disappointing offensive showing, scoring only three runs in 18 innings prior to this game. Despite a solid outing from Cam Schlittler, who struck out eight Dodgers but suffered a loss, the Yankees' pitching has been their saving grace with a strong bullpen performance throughout the series. The Yankees need to build on this momentum as they prepare for another showdown with the Dodgers, standing at 54-43 with a +10 run differential over the last week. The absence of Aaron Judge has forced the team to shuffle personnel, as illustrated by their decision to call up Bradley Hanner amid these struggles.
