The New York Yankees have continued to struggle in extra-inning games during the early part of the 2024 season, mirroring their disappointing performance from last year. Despite having only one win in seven extra-inning matches, the team has scored just two runs in these situations. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledges the team's difficulties in scoring on the road and in clutch situations, highlighting inconsistent situational hitting and the inability to capitalize during critical moments. The Yankees also rank last in the majors for runners left in scoring position, particularly struggling to convert chances both on the road and at home.
We've had a hard time scoring runs in extras on the road. I don't think that's emblematic of who we are as an offense, manager Aaron Boone said.
The Yankees rank last in the majors with 4.06 runners left in scoring position per game this season, including a league-high 4.46 on the road.
New York has also endured struggles at home, though, including a recent 1-0 loss in 11 innings to the Los Angeles Angels.
We played a couple games in extras in a week where we weren't scoring many runs -- it's going to happen.
