FT Leadoff

Every team goes through bad stretches, but it’s been ROUGH in the Bronx lately.

Rafael Devers is the new David Ortiz against the Yanks. His two-homer night on Sunday helped propel the Red Sox to a series win. He’s now at 28 career homers against NYY and 16 in the Bronx. No visiting player has more since 2017.

The Yankees are 6-16 over their last 22 following the loss and have fallen three games back of the Orioles in the AL East.

New York has lost SEVEN straight series. They’ll look to break that streak when they take on the Rays in a three-game set starting on Tuesday.

Watch - Derek Levandowski of NYY Recaps joined us on Friday to discuss the Yankees struggles.

The complete All-Star Game rosters were announced on Sunday night.

This year features 32 first-time selections, including Elly De La Cruz and Paul Skenes, who became the first player to be selected for an All-Star Game just a year after being picked first overall in the MLB Draft.

The Phillies are sending seven players to Texas next week. Not only is that a major league-high this year, but it’s also a club record.
