Defector • • sports
Key Points:
- The "Dog Days" of summer, linked to the rising of Sirius, traditionally begin mid-to-late July, but for the New York Yankees, their challenging period starts earlier, typically in June.
- Recently, the Yankees have struggled in June, especially in Boston, where they hold a 1-18 record in their last 19 June games at Fenway Park, including a recent sweep by the Red Sox.
- Pitcher Sonny Gray flirted with a no-hitter on Sunday, but the Yankees still lost in extra innings, highlighting the team's ongoing difficulties this season.
- Despite recent setbacks, the Yankees remain just one game behind in the AL East, aided by a generally weak American League and the expected return of key injured players in July.
- Manager Aaron Boone emphasized resilience and embracing the grind of the long season, acknowledging the team's current struggles but urging focus on future opportunities.
