The Yankees have faced significant challenges this week, losing starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt to Tommy John surgery and suffering a six-game losing streak. An incident involving a thrown ball injured Aaron Judge, but he remained in the game with only a minor injury. The team's current struggles are characterized by poor defensive plays and an inability to prevent runs, unlike previous losses. The Yankees had a comfortable lead in the AL East but have seen it vanish, now being overtaken by the Blue Jays.
"When it rains, it pours: After losing 12-6 to the Mets, the Yankees have now dropped six straight for the second time in under a month."
"This losing streak has been mostly about giving up runs instead of being unable to score them, and they've managed to give up lots of runs in lots of ways."
"Outfielder Jasson Domínguez got a late jump on the very first ball put in play, leading to a generously scored double."
"A month ago, the Yankees were 5.5 games up in the AL East. Now, after losing six in a row, New York is struggling and their lead has diminished."
