Giancarlo Stanton’s home run made a resounding statement after he was hit by a Mike Fiers pitch, but it wouldn’t be enough to carry the Yankees to their sixth straight win.

The usually powerful Yankees’ offense couldn’t provide any thunder on Friday night as a strong start by Royals right-hander Jakob Junis boosted Kansas City to a 5-2 victory at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals struck early against Yankees starter CC Sabathia, thanks largely to the hitting and baserunning exploits of Whit Merrifield. The second baseman, who had three hits and three... more

Gleyber Torres hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the fourth inning to boost the Yankees to an 8-3 victory over the Royals on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium.

The Yankees’ search for rotation depth has continued since the winter, and as they took a look at one of their potential trade targets, they also received a reminder of why they might not want to stand pat over the next few months.

Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge highlighted a four-homer barrage that presented another assault on the record books, but Jurickson Profar’s bases-clearing double held up as the difference as the Rangers edged the Yankees in a wild 12-10 slugfest on Wednesday evening at Globe Life Park.

Few teams have been able to answer Justin Verlander this season, a group that still includes the Majors’ most prolific offense. Despite a shuffled lineup, the Yankees were again stymied by the right-hander, who fired 6 2/3 dominant innings to down the Yanks, 5-1, on Monday at Yankee Stadium. Earlier this month in Houston, Verlander struck out 14 Yankees over... more
