Aaron Judge and the Yankees’ Offense Face Heavy Criticism from MLB Fans Following Their Disappointing ALDS Game 2 Loss to the Royals, Sparking Questions About Their Playoff Future .giang

The Kansas City Royals evened their American League Division Series matchup with the New York Yankees after a 4-2 win on Monday.

New York’s offense was sluggish in the loss, picking up just seven hits. The Yankees got some life down three runs in the bottom of the ninth after Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a leadoff home run, but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback with Kansas City still up by two runs.

The Royals did all their scoring in the fourth inning, starting with a solo homer from Salvador Pérez. From there, Kansas City made it a three-run lead with three RBI singles, a deficit that proved to be too much for the struggling Yankees’ offense to overcome.

Aaron Judge’s postseason struggles continued as he went 1-for-3 with a strikeout and a walk. The star has now struck out in four of his nine at-bats.

After the loss, fans ripped New York’s offensive struggles as it failed to get a 2-0 cushion over the Royals.

The Yankees snuck past Kansas City in Game 1 with a 6-5 win, but their offense was mostly absent on Monday. New York will now have to go on the road and try to find its offense to avoid going down two games to one.
