Aaron Judge returned from the injured list, yet the Yankees faced a 2-0 defeat against the Rangers, marking their fifth consecutive loss. Devin Williams allowed a key two-run single by Rowdy Tellez, and the Yankees struggled offensively, collecting only one hit against Nathan Eovaldi, who pitched eight scoreless innings. The loss further dropped the Yankees in AL wild-card standings, and Judge acknowledged the team's need to improve and avoid elongating their current losing streak.
"If we don't win, it doesn't matter. Half-game back, half-game up, if we play like this and aren't stringing wins together, it's not going to matter. I remain confident in this group, but we continue to say that and we have to start making it happen."
"Just couldn't really get anything going against him," said Judge, who went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.
"We've got some work to do ... you never want the skids to be longer than a week or two. You're going to go through some tough things like that, every team does. But it's about us in this room. We've got to take care of this..."
