Yankees’ offense completely disappears in ugly shutout loss to A’s
NY Post
Forget flirting with a no-hitter. Clarke Schmidt would have had to pitch a perfect game to give the Yankees a chance against the A’s on Saturday.
Instead, Schmidt — who hadn’t allowed a run his previous three starts — gave up four and the Yankees lineup went missing again, as they were thumped 7-0 by the lowly A’s in The Bronx.
After picking up a win on Friday with just four hits, the Yankees were completely shut down Saturday against ex-Yankee JP Sears and the A’s bullpen.
And the defeat displayed several worrying trends for the Yankees, who remain in first place in the AL East, but often haven’t looked like a first-place team. After being shut out just twice in their first 69 games, they’ve been blanked twice in their past 13 games.
Aaron Judge continued his cold streak and the rest of the lineup hasn’t been able to pick him up. He left a pair of runners on in the third, nearly sent one out in the sixth and ended the game by running into the final out at third base.
“In times like this, it comes down to getting a big hit with runners out there,’’ Aaron Boone said after the Yankees went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position. “We don’t have a lot of hits the last two days. We haven’t been hitting the long ball, either.”
