If the New York Yankees want to compete for a postseason spot, they certainly won’t achieve it like this. The team led by Aaron Boone forgot all the good things they were doing recently, handing the series to their archrival Boston Red Sox, who reminded us that a hot streak can vanish out of nowhere-and at this stage, it could cost them the entire season.

Everyone must agree that the Yankees should have capitalized on their home-field advantage, but they didn’t, jeoparding their Wild Card position and posting numbers that are terrible, brutal, and every negative adjective imaginable.
The stat that exposes the Yankees’ struggles
The results from these three games (3-6, 0-1, 1-12) expose the Yankees, not only with a run differential of 4-19 but also due to their errors.
The most glaring stat is that the Yankees have committed more errors (5) than runs scored (4) in these three games, enough to allow the Red Sox to secure a winning streak they haven’t seen in 16 years.
The Boston Red Sox have won their last eight games against the Yankees, a feat they last accomplished in 2009-the same year the “Bronx Bombers” won their last World Series.
Without a doubt, these are two stats that don’t paint the Yankees in a good light, especially since they’re playing for everything in this final stretch of the season. They risk missing out entirely, just a year after reaching the World Series, where they lost to the Dodgers.
After losing the American League East lead, the Yankees are currently the second Wild Card team, tied with a 69-60 record alongside the Seattle Mariners, but with two teams-the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians-threatening to steal those spots.
There are still several games left for surprises to unfold, as the Yankees will face the Red Sox again with four games remaining against their hated rival this season. The big question is whether the team will hold up or sink as time runs out.

Devastated Mateta considering knee surgery after failed AC Milan move
Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is considering undergoing knee surgery following his failed move to AC Milan.Mateta saw his move to the Italian giants collapse on Deadline Day after his medical highlighted problems with his knee, but it is thought there is no bad blood between the two clubs after the transfer was called off. Milan were aware of the issue before negotiations started with Palace - his medical records were sent to Italy on Saturday - in advance of the final negotiations.

Rose: PGA Tour form ‘validates’ decision to snub LIV Golf
Justin Rose believes his decision to reject LIV Golf in 2022 has been ‘validated’ by his upturn in form on the PGA Tour in recent years. Rose claimed his first tournament win of the season in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, also marking his 13th career PGA Tour victory and his third since receiving the offer to join Saudi-backed LIV four years ago. The Englishman was a runner-up at the 2025 Masters, and was a key component of the first away Ryder Cup win in 13 years - opportunities that he may have missed, alongside fellow countrymen Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, had he left the PGA Tour.

Bunting on ignoring negative backlash and being Premier League ready
Stephen Bunting heads into the Premier League Darts 2026 under some scrutiny but he is making sure to ignore the outside noise and put his best foot forward.Bunting was the inclusion in this year's Premier League that raised the most eyebrows, with many people seeing it as a contest between 'The Bullet' and Nathan Aspinall on who would take the eighth spot. It was the St Helens man who was chosen as a wildcard and he joins Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, Jonny Clayton, Josh Rock, and Gerwyn Price for darts' biggest roadshow. While there was a lot of reaction across social media to Bunting's place in the Premier League, he himself insisted he pays no mind to the negative comments.Rather, he is focused on going one better than 2025, which was his best year […]
