by Three pitches. Three home runs. And just like that, the Yankees were cooked before this thing even had a chance to breathe.
Let’s be real. This was not just a bad loss. This was one of those losses that tells you exactly where this team is right now.
The Yankees came into Tuesday night with a chance to build off that crazy 11-10 walk-off win from Monday. Instead, they got punched directly in the mouth in the first inning and never got off the canvas.
Mike Trout. Jo Adell. Jorge Soler.
Back-to-back-to-back.
Actually worse than that. Three home runs in a five-pitch span.
Game basically over before some fans even found their seats.

The Ryan Weathers experience was chaos
Ryan Weathers was all over the place Tuesday night, and that is putting it nicely.
Now, to be fair, the final pitching line is weird. Ten strikeouts. Five innings. That usually screams dominance.
Not this time.
Because while Weathers missed bats, he also gave up four home runs, and that is the part that matters. You are not surviving that in Yankee Stadium. You are definitely not surviving it when your offense decides to take the entire night off.
That first inning set the tone. Trout crushed one. Adell followed. Soler added another. Three swings, three runs, instant hole.
And from there, the Yankees were playing uphill all night.
Weathers settled down enough to stack strikeouts, sure. But this was one of those fake-settle games. The line looks interesting. The actual outing felt like a fire you never really put out.
Then Oswald Peraza — yes, former Yankee Oswald Peraza, because of course — took him deep in the fourth to make it 4-0.
You cannot make this stuff up.

The offense went right back to sleep
And this is the other problem.
The Yankees had all that emotional juice Monday night. Walk-off win. Wild game. Crowd buzzing. Chance to turn the page.
Then Tuesday happened, and the lineup gave them almost nothing.
Reid Detmers carved them up for seven-plus innings, gave up just one run, and did not walk a single hitter. That last part matters. The Yankees were not grinding out at-bats. They were not creating traffic. They were not making this guy work in any meaningful way.
They had five hits all night. They struck out 12 times. Giancarlo Stanton struck out three times. Trent Grisham struck out three times. The top of the lineup did not set the tone. The bottom of the lineup did not rescue anything.
Aaron Judge had a double in the ninth. Amed Rosario had a hit. Austin Wells had a hit. Randal Grichuk finally chipped in with a double and later scored. Ben Rice drove in the only run with a sacrifice fly.
That was it.
One run. At home. Against a team that came in looking very beatable.
And yes, the losing trend is now getting ugly
This is the bigger picture nobody around this team can duck.
The Yankees have now lost six of their last seven.
So this is no longer just one weird game. No more “it’s early” shield every single night. Yes, it is still April. No, that does not mean sloppy, flat baseball is supposed to get ignored.
Because what are we seeing right now?
We are seeing a team that can erupt one night and completely disappear the next.
We are seeing a pitching staff that had been carrying this thing suddenly give up five home runs in one game.
We are seeing an offense that still feels way too dependent on one or two guys doing something loud.
And we are seeing opposing teams come into Yankee Stadium looking way too comfortable.
Former Yankees always know when to twist the knife
You knew it was coming, right?
Oswald Peraza goes 3-for-3 with a homer, a walk, and looks like he is having the time of his life.
That is just classic baseball pain. Former Yankee comes back, does damage, and reminds everybody how this sport loves a little extra drama.
Yoán Moncada added three RBI, including a homer in the eighth. Trout kept doing Trout things. Adell added another big swing. Soler got in on it. Everybody got a piece.
Meanwhile, the Yankees spent most of the night looking like they were trying to solve a puzzle with half the pieces missing.
Now the Yankees need a response, not excuses
Listen, one game does not bury a season.
But the way the Yankees are losing lately should absolutely get your attention.
This was a flat, ugly, lifeless performance outside of a few scattered moments. The Angels hit them early, the Yankees never answered, and the crowd spent most of the night watching a team that looked stunned by the first inning and never recovered.
That cannot keep happening.
Not with this payroll. Not with these expectations. Not with a roster that is supposed to be built to contend.
The Yankees are now 9-8, and that hot start already feels like it happened a month ago.
Wednesday is not just about avoiding another loss. It is about showing there is still some edge in this room.
Because right now, this team looks way too easy to knock off balance.
