Yankees’ offense wastes numerous chances in ugly loss to A’s
NY Post
The Yankees missed an opportunity Thursday, both in a game and in a series against a team headed nowhere (except Sacramento).
Aaron Boone’s team continually mounted threats and continually wasted those chances on a chilly night.
The Yankees lost, 3-1, to the A’s in front of 40,141 in The Bronx, a disappointing split with a club whose ownership is more focused on leaving Oakland than putting a competitive team on the field.
Against an opposing starting pitcher in Alex Wood who entered with a 7.89 ERA, the Yankees scored one run.
Fans who instead tuned in to the NFL draft or Knicks playoff game did not miss much.
The Yankees (17-9), who won four of seven on this homestand, on Friday will begin a seven-game trip through Milwaukee and Baltimore, both representing a step-up in competition.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
