The New York Yankees remain confident despite dropping Game 2 of the ALDS against the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
The result shifted home-field advantage to the Royals in a best-of-five series tied at one game apiece.
\"It still feels the same, that we\'re going to win [the series],\" third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. said. \"I don\'t feel like anybody feels any different. We\'re going to go out there and do our thing still. We still don\'t feel like any team is better than us. We had a]lot of missed opportunities tonight so they just got lucky.\"
Aaron Judge, the presumptive American League MVP who entered 10-for-74 with 28 strikeouts in 18 postseason games since 2020, just missed a home run to right field in his second at-bat, walked in his third plate appearance and reached base on an infield single in the eighth.
\"You can never count him out,\" Juan Soto said. \"He\'s the greatest hitter of all time right now. He\'s just doing his thing. Struggled a little bit with the fastball today, but I know he\'s going to bounce back.\"
