Overview

• Aaron Judge was struck in the face by an errant high-arcing toss from shortstop Anthony Volpe as players trotted to the dugout after the fifth inning at Citi Field.
• The impact shattered Judge’s sunglasses and left a minor cut above his eye that drew blood.
• Demonstrating resilience, Judge returned to the plate in the sixth inning wearing a bandage and reported that he felt fine.
• The loss dropped the Yankees to six consecutive defeats, matching their season worst in a 12-6 setback to the Mets.
• This marks the first time since 2000 that the Yankees have endured two six-game losing streaks in a single season, a slump manager Aaron Boone attributed to lapses in routine fundamentals.
