The New York Yankees faced a disheartening defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels this week, culminating in a 7-3 loss on Wednesday night. This result puts the Yankees at a 50-47 record for the season, with the team failing to demonstrate a balanced game.
Unless general manager Brian Cashman implements significant changes, the Yankees may be headed towards a bleak season without a playoff berth. The Yankees’ batting lineup struck out a staggering 42 times across the three-game series with the Angels, including 16 times during Wednesday’s loss.
Notably, Oswald Peraza struck out in all four of his at-bats, while Giancarlo Stanton, DJ LeMahieu, and Anthony Volpe collectively contributed six more strikeouts.
