The New York Yankees, once riding high with a 52-28 record, find themselves in a slump. Their recent performance has left fans scratching their heads and wondering what’s gone wrong. After losing just three of their first 22 games, the Yankees have now dropped three consecutive series, falling to a disappointing 3-7 in their last 10 games.
A Miserable Homestand
The Bronx Bombers capped off a miserable homestand with a 3-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon. Nestor Cortes, the Yankees’ left-handed pitcher, battled through seven innings of work but allowed all three runs. Unfortunately, the offense provided minimal support, with Anthony Volpe’s sixth-inning RBI double accounting for the only run.

Offensive Struggles
Trent Grisham and Ben Rice managed two-hit games, but their hits were all singles. The Yankees’ lineup, which had been potent earlier in the season, is now sputtering. The lack of consistent run production has put additional pressure on the pitching staff.
Nestor Cortes: A Bright Spot
Despite the team’s struggles, Nestor Cortes has been a bright spot. Over his past eight starts, he boasts an impressive 2.68 ERA, allowing just 14 earned runs in 47 innings. Unfortunately for Cortes, his efforts haven’t translated into wins, as the Yankees’ offense has faltered.
Subway Series Looms
The Yankees will have a day off on Monday to regroup before facing their crosstown rivals, the New York Mets, in a two-game series at Citi Field. The Subway Series always brings added intensity, and the Yankees will need to find their groove quickly to avoid further disappointment.
