Anthony Volpe's error in eighth sinks Yankees as losing skid hits six
Share this @internewscast.com

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 an Anthony Volpe mistake contributed to the deciding run in the top of the eighth, the Yankees had an opportunity to even the score in the bottom half. Ryan Zeferjahn came in to pitch for the Angels, giving up a walk to Jasson Domínguez and hitting 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 had previously been scoreless in their last three games — spanning 30 innings — until Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a solo home run in the bottom of the second, bringing the score to 1-1.

Chisholm connected with a 97-mph sinker thrown by right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, launching it 407 feet, barely staying fair inside the right field foul pole. This was the Yankees’ first run since the top of the ninth inning in their Saturday 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.
