The Yankees ended their greatest losing run in 41 years, but they have since gone on an even longer slump that has been much less publicized.

Despite the team’s longest losing streak since 1982 being snapped on Wednesday with a victory, that sigh of relief was short-lived as they suffered another loss on Saturday.

On Thursday afternoon, the Yankees finished their eleventh consecutive series without a series victory and headed home to The Bronx.

In front of 39,681 disappointed fans, Aaron Boone’s team dropped game three of a four-game set by folding late in a 6-5 loss to the Nationals.

Since taking three games from the Royals on July 21-23, the Yankees have not won a series.

The Yankees were two games out of the American League’s last wild card spot after that sweep.

The Yankees are currently 10 games out of the playoff picture, despite the fact that it has only been a little over a month.

The Yankees are already throwing in the towel on their 10-game road trip to Tampa, Detroit, and Houston, where they are a combined 0-for-8 in series since their sweep of the Royals.

Michael King, who pitched 2 2/3 largely decent innings as a building-up starter, allowing one unearned run and saying, “I feel like we’ve been frustrated a lot this year,” acknowledged as much. There were a lot of positive things about it, but it just didn’t all come together, like clearly [Wednesday], and even today I felt like we had tremendous at-bats.

The reasons the Yankees’ top pitcher doesn’t want to reduce his hours

That Shohei Ohtani’s ιnjury will prevent him from signing a historic contract is naive.

Former CNN head Chris Licht was reportedly seen at a Yankees game, which is a “Bronx bummer.”

The Mets and Yankees shouldn’t let the latest Shohei Ohtani red flags deter them.

The Yankees are currently 10 games out of the playoff picture, despite the fact that it has only been a little over a month.

The Yankees are already throwing in the towel on their 10-game road trip to Tampa, Detroit, and Houston, where they are a combined 0-for-8 in series since their sweep of the Royals.

Aaron Judge, the Yankees’ right fielder, slugs a one-out home run in the first.

One of the few bright lights for the Yankees that afternoon was Aaron Judge’s home run in the first inning.

When the pitchers are good and the hitters are bad, you know you’re in a slump. The pitchers strugglе when the hitters succeed.

Aaron Judge’s fourth home run in two games, a first-inning blast; Gleyber Torres’ two-run drive in the third; a few late rallies as they sought to scramble back on top; all have been followed by frustration.

Tommy Kahnle was the biggest problem in a season where the rotation and bats were both issues at various points.

Kahnle came in during the seventh inning with the Yankees up 3-1 and promptly threw away the lead. The Yankees dug an even deeper hole after Kahnle allowed three hits (a RBI single to Jake Alu and home runs by Alex Call and CJ Abrams). Kahnle’s finest pitch, the changeup, was responsible for all three hits, but he thought Washingtоn was waiting for it.

The Yankees fell short of a comeback. The Nationals regained a two-run lead in the ninth inning after Giancarlo Stanton Һit a home run in the eighth, with an RBI single off Clay Holmes (a tapper by Joey Meneses).

The Yankees got within two runs in the bottom of the ninth on singles by Jose Peraza, Gleyber Torres, and Giancarlo Stanton. Harrison Bader had a tough day at the plate, striking out four times, but he got out of it by hitting a deep fly out to center with two outs.

A group of relievers that has been the team’s strongest strength this year has been criticized by manager Aaron Boone for failing to seal the deal when the team had a lead. However, we must proceed. On [this] Friday, we set off on a challenging journey.

King, trying out for a rotation spot, had a promising but brief start in Wasted. The right-hander gave up a Һit, two walks, and an unearned run.

Inducing a ground ball from Meneses with two outs with Alu on third, King allowed the tying run to score as Anthony Volpe misplayed the ball.

There were miscues on defense and plenty of costly missteps at the plate.

In the second inning, the Yankees squandered a promising scoring opportunity when Kyle Higashioka was thrown out trying to steаl third base after reaching on a ground ball to shortstop Alex Abrams. The next batter, Peraza, was picked off first base.

Such blunders are fatal to weak squads that can’t adjust for them. As DJ LeMahieu put it, “a lot of factors” are working against the Yankees’ ability to gain any sort of momentum.

It “hasn’t been pretty,” LeMahieu said. No, this “hasn’t been fun.”
