NEW YORK.<\/strong> New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge sent a clear message to his teammates as he continues to recover from a fractured first right rib: the team must react to get back on the path to success.<\/p>n”\n\n“n Judge, who has remained on the injured list since June 5, expressed his concern regarding the performance of the Yankees, who closed June with a losing record and a six-game losing streak.<\/p>n”\n\n“n “It’s not good… just a little lack of focus. We have to adjust. Our ultimate goal is to win a World Series and the guys have to remember that every day,” he stated.<\/p>n<\/blockquote>n”\n\n“n The reigning American League Most Valuable Player lamented not being able to help on the field while awaiting further medical tests on his injury, which he suffered after diving to attempt a catch on April 26.<\/p>n”\n\n“n Judge believes the team has tried to do too much at key moments.<\/p>n”\n\n“n “Everyone wants to be the one to hit the grand slam with no one on base. You just have to stay focused and take it one at-bat at a time,” he noted.<\/p>n<\/blockquote>n”\n\n“n The Yankees have also shown defensive issues, allowing 21 unearned runs since June 20, the most in the Major Leagues during that period.<\/p>n”\n\n“n Despite the difficult moment, Judge is confident that the team will know how to respond.<\/p>n”\n\n“n “Good teams go through difficult times. The important thing is how you respond after the next pitch,” he concluded.<\/p>n<\/blockquote>n”\n\n\n KANSAS CITY.<\/strong> Dominican Junior Caminero continues to write historic pages with the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>n”\n\n“n The third baseman hit a two-run home run in the first inning of Wednesday’s game against the Kansas City Royals, tying the franchise record with a home run in six consecutive games<\/strong>, a mark set by Carlos Pe\u00f1a in 2010.<\/p>n”\n\n“n Caminero punished the first pitch from starter Seth Lugo with a 425-foot<\/strong> blast to left field.<\/p>n”\n\n“n In addition to the organization’s record, the Dominican became the youngest player since 1900 to hit a home run in six consecutive games<\/strong>, surpassing the mark that belonged to Ken Griffey Jr., who achieved the feat at 23 years and 246 days old in 1993. Caminero will turn 23 this Sunday.<\/p>n”\n\n“n His production over the last eight games has been extraordinary: he is batting .500 (14 hits in 28 at-bats)<\/strong>, with nine home runs and 20 runs batted in<\/strong>, the most home runs in an eight-game span for a player 22 years old or younger since records began.<\/p>n”\n\n“n Interestingly, the streak began precisely against Seth Lugo, against whom he also hit two home runs during the first three-homer game of his career last week.<\/p>n”\n\n“n Before Caminero, the last player in the Major Leagues to hit a home run in six consecutive games had been the Dominican Rafael Devers, between May 15 and May 20, 2024.<\/p>n”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “n n” “n NEW YORK.
