Yankees searching for answers after 3rd straight shutout
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees' offense is drifting toward uncharted territory — and not in a good way. The team tied a franchise record by getting shut out for the third straight game Tuesday night, when the Yankees went 0 for 10 with runners on base in a 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Advertisement 'Obviously, we're not getting the job done,' outfielder Cody Bellinger said. 'We're not getting a lot of baserunners. We're not causing traffic. We've got to keep going and wake up tomorrow and we've got to get going.' The Yankees have been blanked in three consecutive games seven times in their 123-year history — but only three times in the last 50 years, most recently from Sept. 22-24, 2016. The last major league team to get shut out in four straight games was the Kansas City Royals in September 2017. 'It's a little bit foreign for us to go through this for a few days,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. Advertisement New York has lost five in a row and mustered only five runs in its past six games, including a 1-0 win last Thursday in Kansas City. The last time the Yankees scored five runs or fewer in a six-game span was August 1968. In the past six games, New York is batting .164. Giancarlo Stanton is 4 for 8 in his first two games since returning from injuries to both elbows. But lineup mainstays Bellinger (.152 in his last eight games), Paul Goldschmidt (.164 in his last 17 games) and Aaron Judge (.125 in his last seven games) are all mired in extended slumps. Judge, who began the night leading the American League in all three Triple Crown categories, was booed following strikeouts in the sixth and eighth innings. Advertisement Boone tinkered with his lineup — batting rookie Jasson Domínguez first and dropping Goldschmidt to sixth — but it didn't yield results for the Yankees, who were limited to four hits and got just three runners to second base against Kyle Hendricks and a trio of relievers. Boone implored the Yankees to remain patient at the plate but acknowledged they might have been pressing Tuesday, when they went up against the soft-tossing Hendricks on an unseasonably cool 67-degree night. 'You want to be the guy (to) kind of get the hit, get it going,' Boone said. 'But that's where the patience comes in and that's where just you can't obsess on the result. You can't go up there (like) 'I gotta get a hit, I gotta do this.' It's got to be, 'I gotta go take a tough at-bat.'' Even with the slump, the Yankees still rank among the top five teams in the majors in runs (370), homers (109) and OPS (.784). They finished among the top five in all three categories in five of Boone's first seven seasons as manager. Advertisement 'It's been a little struggle the last couple days, which unfortunately is going to happen,' Boone said. 'It's just always shocking to see our group not score runs, right? Especially a few days in a row now. 'We've just got to focus on the little things — think small, big things come.' ___ AP MLB: Jerry Beach, The Associated Press

Yankees' scoreless streak grows to 29 innings with anemic loss to Angels
Kyle Hendricks and three relievers combined on a four-hitter as the Los Angeles Angels beat the slumping New York Yankees 4-0 on Tuesday night, handing them their third straight shutout loss. New York manager Aaron Boone tinkered with his lineup, batting rookie Jasson Domínguez first and dropping Paul Goldschmidt to sixth, but it didn't yield results for the Yankees, who were 0 for 10 with runners on and got just three to second base. Aaron Judge went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts and heard boos following whiffs in the sixth and eighth. He is 2 for 19 with 12 strikeouts over his last five games. The Yankees, who haven't scored in 29 innings since the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss at Boston on Saturday, were last blanked in three consecutive games from Sept. 22-24, 2016. They have never been shut out in four straight games. Hendricks (5-6) allowed four hits and walked one while striking out nine -- his most since he whiffed 10 for the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 18, 2020. Ryan Zeferjahn, Reid Detmers and Hunter Strickland tossed a hitless inning apiece for the Angels, who threw consecutive shutouts for the first time since Aug. 26-27, 2022. Taylor Ward hit a two-run single in the fourth. Luis Rengifo and Nolan Schanuel each had an RBI. Yankees starter Will Warren (4-4) gave up three runs in six innings while striking out a career-high 11. He retired the last 11 batters he faced. KEY MOMENT Ward's single off the glove of third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was the fourth straight one-out hit off Warren and extended the Angels' lead to 3-0. KEY STAT The Yankees are the third team this season to get shut out in three consecutive games, following the Cincinnati Reds (April 1-3) and Colorado Rockies (April 11-13). No team has been blanked in four straight games since the Kansas City Royals in August 2017. UP NEXT Yankees LHP Ryan Yarbrough (3-1, 3.96 ERA) opposes Angels RHP Jack Kochanowicz (3-8, 5.53) on Wednesday night.

Mets' David Peterson ends NY's 6-year pitching drought
The post Mets' David Peterson ends NY's 6-year pitching drought appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Mets are rolling, and now they've ended a six-year drought thanks to David Peterson. The left-hander delivered a masterclass Wednesday night against the Washington Nationals, throwing the first complete-game shutout by a Mets lefty since 2019. Advertisement Peterson's historic outing powered New York to a 5-0 win over the Nationals, their fifth straight victory, improving to 44-24 and extending their lead in the NL East standings. He scattered six hits over nine innings, struck out six, and walked none—lowering his ERA to 2.49 in the process. Anthony DiComo captured the moment on X (formerly known as Twitter) with a caption that perfectly summed up Peterson's top-shelf performance and the moment for the surging Mets. 'FINAL: Mets 5, Nationals 0 WP: David Peterson LP: Jake Irvin Peterson fired the first shutout by a Mets left-hander in six years. Advertisement Record: 44-24 Streak: W5 Pace: 105-57 Next: Thursday vs. WAS, 1:10 p.m.' He later posted the final out, where Peterson completed his 8-pitch ninth inning to a roaring Citi Field crowd of 40,681. That ovation fueled Peterson, who acknowledged the fans after the game and received a celebratory ice bath from his teammates. 'Here's the final out for David Peterson, who became the 63rd pitcher in Mets history to throw a shutout with no walks' This wasn't just a strong outing—it was arguably the finest performance of the southpaw's career. Peterson's shutout was fueled by pinpoint command and a steady dose of heavy sinkers, particularly when he faced adversity in the seventh inning. After surrendering back-to-back singles, he calmly struck out two batters and induced a groundout to escape the jam without damage. Advertisement His performance also marks the deepest a Mets starter has gone into a game all year, now doing it twice. He leads the team in innings pitched (79.2) and ranks fifth in the National League in ERA, trailing only Kodai Senga, Paul Skenes, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Robbie Ray—elite company. Offensively, the Mets were boosted by Brandon Nimmo's two home runs and Juan Soto's fifth homer in 11 games, giving Peterson ample run support. For a team long reliant on flashy signings, Mets pitching stats like these show how homegrown development still can equal wins. And in a division race heating up with the Philadelphia Phillies, Peterson's gem could prove a defining moment in the teams' 2025 season.
