Briefly

The New York Yankees faced a painful loss against the Cincinnati Reds, losing 6-1 while stranding nine base runners and failing to capitalize on key opportunities to score. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged their struggles, noting the team's poor performance in critical moments this season. The Yankees currently rank last in MLB in stranding runners in scoring position. Over their last dozen games, their OPS in these situations has plummeted, causing a losing streak that has left fans and players frustrated. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges they face, despite moments of good at-bats.
You're going to have those stretches, manager Aaron Boone said. I think, overall, we've been pretty good in those areas. I thought our best at-bats were getting on base and putting the pressure on.
You're not always going to drive the guy in or move him over, but as long as we're continuing to have good at-bats and try to move guys over and knock them in, I like our chances.
