Anthony Volpe's error in eighth sinks Yankees as losing skid hits six
Share and Follow

The Yankees finally broke their scoreless streak.

As for their losing streak, that’s still going strong after another ugly defeat to a sub-.500 Angels team.

The 3-2 loss came after Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone preached calm earlier on Wednesday, saying their offense is too good to keep slumping.

But Boone also stressed the importance of doing the “little things” when you’re not hitting well.

Then the Yankees went out and booted balls, ran into outs and failed to get a bunt down.

It all added up to a sixth straight loss, as the Yankees have gone from riding high in the AL East to looking very average. 

After a mistake by Anthony Volpe led to the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, the Yankees had an opportunity to even the score in the bottom half. Ryan Zeferjahn took the mound for the Angels and faced Jasson Domínguez, walking him, and then hit pinch-hitter Austin Wells.



Trent Grisham, despite Zeferjahn exhibiting no command, attempted to bunt before popping out.

And Aaron Judge, in the middle of a 1-for-18 rut with 11 strikeouts, faced Connor Brogdon and flied out to center. 

Cody Bellinger, who had homered earlier in the game, popped out to end the threat.

The Yankees, who had been kept scoreless in their last three games spanning 30 innings, finally broke the drought with a solo home run from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the second inning, leveling the game at 1-1.

Chisholm smashed a 97-mph sinker from right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, sending the ball 407 feet deep, just inside the right-field foul pole for the Yankees’ first run since the top of the ninth inning of Saturday’s loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Bellinger added a second solo shot off Kochanowicz with one out in the fourth to give the Yankees their first lead, but it didn’t last.

But Jo Adell hit Ryan Yarbrough’s first pitch of the fifth inning 436 feet into the visiting bullpen in left-center to make it 2-2, the second solo homer allowed by Yarbrough on the night.
