Michael Kay can't believeYankees' ugly offensive stretch
Michael Kay's frustrations with the Yankees, who have gone 29 straight innings without scoring a run, were palpable as he called the final out of Tuesday's game. The Yankees fell to the Angels, 4-0, as their losing streak reached five games. As Paul Goldschmidt swung and missed for the final out, Kay seemed almost in disbelief over the ballclub's offensive funk. Paul Goldschmidt reacts after he strikes out swinging during the ninth inning of the Yankees' 4-0 loss to the Angels on June 17, 2025. Bill Kostroun/New York Post 'When you see a lineup with this sort of talent base, it's almost incomprehensible that they have been shut down to this extent,' Kay said. Kay's befuddlement over the Yankees' current stretch seemed to mimic that of Yankees fans everywhere as the potent lineup — that ranks second in MLB in OPS (.784) — has become snake-bitten and struggled to mount anything. The Yankees have gone 29 innings with a run crossing the plate after having the most runs scored in the American League following Saturday's loss to the Red Sox. David Cone, Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill in 2023. The Yankees have been on a downward spiral and have not won since they beat the Royals last Thursday. 'There's always a certain point where it's not necessarily going your way and feel it,' Cody Bellinger said after Tuesday's loss. 'You kind of feel this extra pressure to get the job done. At the end of the day, it's the same game, and we have good conversations. We're gonna have good conversations, we're gonna keep going and gonna keep playing for each other, and get out of this thing.' The Yankees continue their series with the Angels with the third game of a four-game set on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.

Boone successfully recruited Joe Torre to join him as an honorary coach (along with the Guardians' Stephen Vogt) for the festivities. Torre has been around the Yankees during spring training the past few years because Boone — Torre's former third baseman — continued to invite him and persuaded him back into uniform, Torre even making a pitching change in March. 'I know our guys love being around him,' Boone said before the Yankees' 4-0 loss to the Angels in The Bronx on Tuesday. 'And what gets me excited is I know he's enjoyed it.' Yankees manager Aaron Boone will lead the AL in this year's All-Star Game. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post So during spring training, Boone talked with MLB to get permission to invite Torre, and the league — with whom Torre works as a special assistant to the commissioner — approved. Boone broached the All-Star Game idea to Torre and received his answer quickly. 'I asked him, 'Would he consider coming?' And right away, he was like, 'Yes,' and seemed really excited about it, seemed moved by it,' Boone said. 'Which could not have gone better in my eyes. … So I'm excited to have the skipper with us.' Joe Torre waves to the Yankee Stadium crowd during the 2024 Old Tiimers' Day. Corey Sipkin for New York Post Torre, who won four World Series with the Yankees as manager from 1996–2007, also played with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves from 1960-68. 'The rest of the American League team I know will love having him there, too,' Boone said. Also going to the All-Star Game will be the Yankees' Tim Lentych, who will be one of two athletic trainers on the American League side.
