Yankees End Scoreless Streak but Extend Losing Skid

The New York Yankees ended their scoreless streak at 30 innings with a second-inning home run on Wednesday, but their offensive struggles continued as they managed just three hits and suffered a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The defeat, marked by a crucial error from shortstop Anthony Volpe in the eighth inning, extended the Yankees' losing streak to six games and gave the Angels their third straight win over New York. The Yankees had previously been shut out in three consecutive games for the first time since 2016 and have hit just .164 over their last six games, scoring only five runs during that span. Players and manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the team's frustration and pressing in key situations, but emphasized the importance of patience at the plate. Despite mounting pressure and speculation, there has been no players-only meeting, though ongoing conversations about maintaining a positive outlook have occurred. The Yankees, who are still among the league's top offenses for the season, are facing growing pressure to reverse their slump amid costly defensive mistakes.
