Red Sweep: Cincinnati Reds Take Down New York Yankees in Three-Game Series, Marking First Time Ever.

The Cincinnati Reds swept the New York Yankees in a three-game series this season, marking the first time they have done so. The Reds led 8-4 by the ninth inning and the Yankees were unable to mount a comeback. A costly error by Trent Grisham in the outfield added to the frustration of fans, with Grisham’s lackluster effort drawing boos from the crowd. Despite this error, the Reds couldn’t capitalize on it and the inning ended with a strikeout by Spencer Steer.

Starting pitcher Marcus Stroman struggled in the game, allowing three home runs and five earned runs in five innings of work. The Yankees have now lost 13 of their last 17 games, falling from first place in the AL East to 2 games back. Even Aaron Judge, who has been hitting like an MVP, went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the game. The team’s offensive struggles have drawn criticism from Judge’s hitting coach Richard Schenck, who called it “terrible”.

The Yankees will look to turn things around when they host the Boston Red Sox for an upcoming home series before heading out on a crucial road trip against Baltimore Orioles before going into All-Star break. They need to find a way to right their ship if they want to avoid falling further behind in their division standings.
