Yankees' offense completely disappears in ugly shutout loss to A's

Try it free Forget flirting with a no-hitter. Clarke Schmidt would have had to pitch a perfect game for the Yankees to have had a chance against the A's on Saturday. Instead, Schmidt — who hadn't allowed a run in his previous three starts — gave up four and the Yankees offense went missing again, as they were thumped, 7-0, by the lowly A's in The Bronx. After picking up a win on Friday with just four hits, the Yankees were completely shut down Saturday against an ex-Yankee — JP Sears — and the A's bullpen. And the defeat displayed several worrying trends for the Yankees, who remain in first place in the AL East, but often haven't looked like a first-place team. 5 Clarke Schmidt reacts after allowing a homer to Nick Kurtz in the Yankees' loss to the A's on June 28, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Aaron Judge continued his cold streak, and the rest of the lineup hasn't been able to pick him up. He left a pair of runners on in the third, although he nearly sent one out in the sixth. Then he ran into an out at third base to end the game. Giancarlo Stanton hasn't homered since his season debut nearly two weeks ago, while Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Volpe, DJ LeMahieu and — especially — Austin Wells are in serious slumps. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS When that happens, mistakes like the one Wells made on Max Muncy's bunt in the eighth and a botched relay to third from Cody Bellinger to Jazz Chisholm Jr. later in the inning become more magnified. 5 Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees reacts after he flies out in the third inning. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST On Saturday, the Yankees did just about everything wrong. In Schmidt's first start since he pitched seven innings of no-hit ball before being pulled after 103 pitches, the right-hander was solid until the sixth. Schmidt saw his scoreless streak end at 26 innings when Brent Rooker took him deep with one out in the fourth. And he gave up a three-run shot to Nick Kurtz with one out in the sixth, as Schmidt allowed more than three runs- as well as more than one homer- for the first time since April 21. The Yankee offense threatened against Sears for the first — and only — time in the bottom of the third. 5 Cody Bellinger and the Yankees couldn't get anything going on Saturday. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST LeMahieu opened with a walk before Sears retired Jasson Domínguez and Goldschmidt. Volpe followed with the second walk of the inning to bring up Judge. After a visit from pitching coach Scott Emerson, Sears fell behind Judge 3-1 before Judge flied out to the warning track in right to keep the game scoreless. Rooker homered off Schmidt in the next inning, which proved to be enough for Sears and the pen.

Check out more newsletters The lefty tossed 5 ⅔ shutout innings, surprisingly dominant given Sears' recent performance. He began the season with an ERA of 2.80 over his first eight starts, but followed that with an 8.75 ERA in his next eight and had allowed eight earned runs in 8 ⅓ innings in his previous two starts heading into Saturday. But he kept the Yankees off balance, with Bellinger's opposite-field single in the first hit their only hit until Goldschmidt led off the bottom of the sixth with a base hit. 5 Jasson Domínguez strikes out in the fifth inning of the Yankees' loss to the A's on Saturday. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST The A's took control of the game in the sixth after Schmidt walked the first two batters of the inning — his first walks of the afternoon. He recovered to fan Rooker on three pitches, but Kurtz homered into the right field seats to put the Yankees in a 4-0 hole. After Goldschmidt's single to start the sixth, Sears got Bellinger to fly to left and Judge sent a fly ball to the warning track in center for the second out. 5 Nick Kurtz of the Athletics is greeted by his teammates after he scores on his three-run homer in the sixth inning on Saturday afternoon. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST In the eighth, with Allan Winans in the game, the A's had runners on first and second with no one out when Muncy popped up a bunt in front of Wells, who let it drop and then fired late and wild to first base and no outs were recorded. Austin Wynns' two-run single gave the A's more insurance, as they won for just the second time in seven games.

Juan Soto homers twice as Mets' offense busts out in much-needed win over Braves
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free A lineup that's been desperate for production — especially from the bottom of the order — finally got it Wednesday, as the Mets scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth of a 7-3 win over Atlanta. The victory was just the Mets' second in their last 12 games, as they've fallen out of first place in the NL East and questions have been raised about just about every aspect of their roster. Advertisement But Juan Soto homered twice, Clay Holmes rebounded from perhaps his worst outing of the season last week in Atlanta to stifle the Braves on Wednesday and the offense took advantage of the youngest player in the majors, Atlanta right-hander Didier Fuentes, a 20-year-old making his second MLB start. They hit the halfway point at 47-34 and knocked the Braves to five games under .500. 5 Juan Soto hits the first of his two solo homers in the Mets' 7-3 win over the Braves on June 25, 2025.

The sizzling Soto got the Mets' five-run fourth going with a 413-foot leadoff homer to center to give them a one-run lead. 5 Ronny Mauricio hits a solo home run in the third inning of the Mets' win over the Braves. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement He added a second homer to start the eighth, his team-high 19th of the season. After Soto tied the game in the fourth, Alonso was hit by a pitch and went to third on Jeff McNeil's double to left. 5 Clay Holmes, who allowed one run over five innings, picked up the win in the Mets' victory over the Braves. Corey Sipkin for New York Post Starling Marte's sacrifice fly to deep center made it 3-1 and sent McNeil to third.

Yankees blanked by Red Sox to cap miserable sweep as Aaron Judge finally cools off
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free BOSTON — At this point, the Yankees may just have to call the Red Sox their Daddy. The best thing they had going for them by the time they headed back to New York was that they did not have to see the Red Sox again until August. A dud of a weekend mercifully came to a close late Sunday afternoon, but not before the Yankees offered one last whimper on Father's Day as they were blanked by the Red Sox 2-0 and got swept out of Fenway Park. Facing the Red Sox (37-36) on back-to-back weekends, the Yankees (42-28) dropped five of six and seemingly gave life to their rival's season. In The Bronx, it was their pitching that failed them. At Fenway, it was their lifeless bats, plus a costly baserunning miscue in each of the past two games. The Yankees arrived in Boston on Friday coming off a sweep of the Royals that lifted them a season-high 17 games above .500. They left having scored four runs in three games. 4 Yankees DH Aaron Judge reacts after striking out in the third inning against the Red Sox on June 15, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Brayan Bello became the latest Red Sox starter to stifle the Yankees, firing seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts while scattering just three hits. In 21 ¹/₃ innings against Red Sox starters this weekend — Garrett Crochet, Hunter Dobbins and Bello — the Yankees mustered just one run, which was Aaron Judge's ninth-inning home run Friday night. That proved to be Judge's only hit of the weekend as the red-hot slugger finally cooled off for a weekend, going 1-for-12 with nine strikeouts and grounded into a double play that killed a rally in the eighth inning Sunday. 4 Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (l.) reacts toward home plate umpire Chris Conroy (r.) after striking out looking in the sixth inning against the Red Sox on June 15, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST 4 The Yankees' Ben Rice reacts after flying out in the fifth inning against the Red Sox on June 15, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST But the Yankees could not pick up their best player. Their best chance of scoring off Bello came in the third inning, when they had runners on first and second with two outs and Jazz Chisholm Jr. at the plate. But Ben Rice took too big of a lead off second base as he appeared to possibly be taking off on the pitch, except Bello never started his windup and instead threw to second to eventually pick off Rice to escape the jam. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS It was all too similar to Jasson Domínguez getting caught flat-footed between second and third to kill a rally on Saturday night, when the rookie outfielder forgot how many strikes there were. The Yankees' weekend at Fenway Park was so rough not even Max Fried — who had been the definition of a stopper when pitching after a loss — could save them from a sweep, though that had less to do with his pitching than that he could not also pick up a bat. Fried gave up two runs across seven innings, but that was enough to take the loss — his first when pitching with the Yankees coming off a loss. 4 Red Sox starter Brayan Bello pitches against the Yankees on June 15, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST As they did all weekend, the Red Sox struck first. In the bottom of the first, after Fried had erased Anthony Volpe's fielding error by inducing a double play, Romy Gonzalez extended the inning with a triple to right field. Trevor Story blooped a single to left to bring him in for the 1-0 lead. Rafael Devers doubled the lead in the fifth inning, sneaking a solo home run just over the Green Monster.

Yankees' rally stalls after brutal gaffe in another loss to Red Sox
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free BOSTON — The Yankees came out flatter than Lance Dobbins' professional baseball portfolio. And then once they finally got a rally going, they killed it quicker than it started because of a boneheaded play. The result was a second straight loss to the Red Sox, 4-3, on a chilly Saturday night when Hunter Dobbins shut them down across six shutout innings in front of a sold-out Fenway Park. 6 Jasson Domínguez reacts dejectedly after getting picked off in the seventh inning of the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the Red Sox on June 14, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post Dobbins, who made headlines over the past week by talking about his hatred for the Yankees and detailing his father Lance's professional baseball career that turned out to be built on falsehoods, silenced the Yankees' bats. 6 Marcelo Mayer hits a sacrifice fly for the Red Sox during their win against the Yankees on June 14. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post 6 Carlos Rodón reacts during the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox on June 14. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post They mustered just two hits and one walk against the Red Sox rookie right-hander, who struck out five and only allowed one runner to reach scoring position all night. Once Dobbins left the game, the Yankees (42-27) finally showed signs of life. 6 Trevor Story reaches second base safely during the Red Sox's win against the Yankees. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post 6 Aaron Judge reacts after striking out during the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post Their first two batters of the seventh inning reached on walks and came around to score on RBI singles from Jasson Domínguez and Austin Wells that cut the Red Sox' 4-0 lead in half. But there were two outs when Domínguez was on second and Wells on first as Trent Grisham swung through a 2-1 pitch. 6 Hunter Dobbins throws a pitch during the Red Sox's win against the Yankees. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post Domínguez, perhaps thinking it was strike three, was caught standing flat-footed in no-man's land between second and third base. Red Sox catcher Carlos Narváez threw down to second as Domínguez took off for third, but he did not get there in time to avoid making the final out and ending the rally in brutal fashion.
