NYY @ TOR: Max Fried vs. Kevin Gausman

The Yankees look to rebound behind one of the game’s best.

The Yankees lost a sloppy one yesterday in opening this four-game series with the Blue Jays, and must once again turn to Max Fried to get back on the right track. I’m sure Fried has no real opinion on this, but it must be somewhat taxing to always have to be The Guy to take over after a loss, which he’ll have now done in two of his last three outings.

Still, if you have to be The Guy, Fried is a...

2000 Diary, July 1: Offense adds on late, ‘pen shuts down D-Rays

USA TODAY-USA TODAY NETWORK

The 2000 Yankees were close to a .500 record, but some late offense and strong bullpen work kept them afloat.

The first game of the Yankees’ David Justice era was about as underwhelming as the last month had been, with the Yankees having played a lot of average and losing baseball. They lost to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-4, putting them at third place in the American League East and just above the .500 mark, which is not an ideal spot for any team heading...

Yankees June Approval Poll: Brian Cashman

How do the fans feel about the most disappointing month of the season so far?

It’s safe to say the Yankees are happy that June is ending. If anything has typified the team over the last handful of seasons, it’s been a hot start followed by the inevitable June swoon, and this year was no different. A sputtering offense lay at the heart of their downturn, something many could have predicted at the start of the year based on some of the roster...

A look around the limited action on Monday.

A brutal sixth inning led the Yankees to a loss on Monday, a particularly tough one considering it came against the surging Blue Jays. They are now within two games of the Yankees in first place, and will have three more games coming up to make even more noise. They weren’t the only competitor to take the field on Monday, as both the Rays and Red Sox played to open the week.

Let’s take a look around...

While a trip to Yankee Stadium is the perfect capstone for a visit to New York, it’s not always possible. Even assuming the Yankees are in town, New York City has no shortage of attractions vying for your attention, and you and your group would be forgiven for prioritizing some of these on your trip to the Big Apple.

Visiting the City to catch a Yankees game? Here’s a few ideas of what else to do while you’re in town.

“What should I do while I’m in town?” is not a straightforward question to answer regardless of the city, and with a city like New York, the question is more loaded still. There are the big sights that immediately leap to mind: the Empire State Building, Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty. If you’re only around a couple...

It’s time to forget all about that June swoon nonsense.

The Yankees ended their June in a emblematic fashion, losing a frustrating game to one of their rivals to close out their worst month of the season. The Blue Jays may be in third place but they now sit just two games away from tying the Yanks, meaning they need to grab at least one of these next three games to avoid falling out of first place for the first time since the season started....

The Yankees imploded in the sixth to drop an important game against surging Jays.

The end of June could not come any sooner for the Yankees, and yet they still managed to turn in a disappointing performance. They surrendered a 3-1 lead in the sixth, combining tough luck with lacking execution and some confusing decisions. This is just the first of a four-game series, but they really should have won this one.

The first three...
