The Yankees faced the Rockies and struggled to secure a win, losing 3-2 despite an early lead. Aaron Judge contributed with a run-scoring single and a home run, while the rest of the team only managed two additional hits. Clarke Schmidt's pitching performance was uneven, characterized by high-pitch counts and constant stress. Overall, the loss highlighted the frustrations of facing underperforming teams, where expectations to win clashed with execution on the field.
Games against baseball's true dregs aren't that much fun. You're supposed to win, which robs the joy of victory, and if you lose, it sucks extra.
Frustratingly, the Yankee lineup managed just three hits on the day outside of Judge, making it hard to claim a consistent offensive performance.
Clarke Schmidt wasn't bad per se, but it was one of those starts where he seemed to throw one or two extra pitches per batter.
Goldy's had an extended run of success against the Rockies in his long career, and kept it up with the big hit to open up the scoring.
