Yankees Humiliated by Red Sox: 8 Straight Losses, Criticism and Reaction

The Yankees’ losing streak against the Red Sox continues, suffering a painful 12-1 defeat at Yankee Stadium. The New York team has faced significant difficulties against their rival, with their eighth consecutive loss this season. In general, the Yankees’ performance against Boston is 1-8. Added to their 3-7 record against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Yankees have a 4-15 record against the two leading teams in the American League East.

“It’s not ideal. It’s unacceptable. We all know it.”

Giancarlo Stanton

The Yankees came into this series with a five-game winning streak, but they failed to maintain the momentum. Now, they are 1.5 games behind the Red Sox in the standings, looking to avoid a sweep in the series. “I’m definitely angry. Especially against our rivals, I don’t like what we’ve shown at home. We have to improve, that’s all. Everyone in this locker room has to play better.” The Yankees’ offensive woes have been evident, scoring only five runs in the three games. Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet dominated the Yankees for seven innings, and the team heard boos from the fans in a disastrous ninth inning.

The team’s performance has been disappointing, especially after a previous series where they hit a record number of home runs. The lack of capitalizing on opportunities with runners on base and errors in the game have contributed to the current situation. In the mound, Will Warren struggled, while the Red Sox took advantage of the situation. Any chance of a comeback vanished when the Red Sox scored seven runs, including an error and lack of communication.

“It’s a shame. We have to get over it. We have to play better against these quality opponents in our division. We can’t erase what has been a really bad weekend for us, but we must strive to the maximum tomorrow.”

Aaron Boone
