If the New York Yankees and Aaron Judge want to overcome the Houston Astros in the 2022 American League Championship Series, they must get their bats swinging. The Yankees’ offence is being scrutinised once more following their 3-2 defeat in Game 2 of that series on Thursday night. In fact, the Yankees haven’t had more than six hits in a game in almost ten games, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
The longest streak in a single season in franchise history has been achieved by the Yankees offence, which has now had six or fewer hits in nine straight games going back to the regular season.
The Yankees only managed five hits and seventeen strikeouts in Game 1 of the ALCS. To put it mildly, Justin Verlander completely baffled New York in that game. The Yankees performed worse in Game 2, coughing up just four hits while being punched out 13 times.
Nobody hitting for the Yankees who is eligible is hitting better than.227 in the postseason. Giancarlo Stanton is only batting.167 despite having two home runs and six RBI. If you’re interested in Judge’s statistics, the playoffs haven’t been kind to him thus far. Judge is only batting.179 with two home runs and three RBI after hitting 62 home runs and.311 in the regular season.
The Yankees struggle to get on base, which was considered as a difficult test for the team going into the series against the Astros, who not only have a well-rested pitching staff but also a strong starting lineup.
In any case, they need to start producing with their bats in Game 3 on Saturday.
