The Yankees have developed a reputation for defensive futility in big games, as the follow-up to their utterly embarassing collapse in the World Series has been more embarrasment. Boston and Toronto have feasted upon errors and free passes, as New York has continued to hand baserunners and outs like they’re samples at Costco.

Anthony Volpe has had a rough go of it manning shortstop for the Yankees this year.

During the ninth inning of Saturday's blowout loss, the New York Yankees were blasted for their performance by their own play-by-play announcer, Michael Kay.

The Yankees do something no team has ever done, the Braves mount a huge comeback, a shrimp alert in Detroit and more from Tuesday's MLB action.

Last year, Judge had 18 first-inning home runs. He's the first player in MLB history to have two seasons of 15 or more first-inning homers, according to Baseball Reference researcher Katie Sharp. It's a remarkable feat, really. Judge has hit 37.5% of his home runs this season in the first inning.

The Yankees continue to defend shortstop Anthony Volpe despite poor metrics at the plate and in the field, The Athletic insider reports.

The Yankees swept the Cardinals and got Paul Goldschmidt back, the Rockies tackled their own player, the Reds ended the Brewers' win streak and more from the weekend's MLB action.
