Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images The Yankees finally remembered how to hit the ball, their seven runs on 13 hits averting a sweep at the hands of the Reds. Meanwhile, runs were at a premium in most of the games involving their AL rivals, with four of the six contests we’ll review ending in a shutout. Athletics lefty Jacob Lopez turned in one of the best starts of his career, tossing seven shutout allowing just three hits and a walk against six strikeouts.

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images The June swoon continues for the Yankees, the team losing 9 of their last 12 after an ugly walk-off loss yesterday in Cincinnati. The blame resides mostly with the offense, alarmingly scoring one or fewer runs in half of the last 12 contests. As such, it was difficult to pick out a worthy contender for At-Bat of the Week, but there was one standout moment from Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Orioles that looms above the rest.

Photo by Evan Bernstein/Getty Images Clarke Schmidt just turned in the best start of his MLB career and perhaps of any Yankees starting pitcher this season, tossing seven no-hit innings in a 9-0 victory over the Orioles. He allowed just two walks and struck out five, but with his pitch count matching a career-high of 103 by the end of the frame, he understood Aaron Boone’s decision to lift him from the game.

Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Luis Gil cleared a major hurdle in his rehab back from a lat strain suffered in February that has delayed the start of his season. He faced live batters for the first time — albeit a bullpen catcher and coach — in a 20-pitch live bullpen session, and his fastball sat around 95-96 mph.

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images There’s not much to celebrate in Yankee land over the last week. Sure, they snapped a pair of ignominious streaks with their sweep-averting 7-3 win over the Angels after ending a nearly-historic run of 30 consecutive scoreless innings the previous night, but both only go so far to wash away the sour taste of three consecutive shutouts and a six-game losing skid.

Photo by Natalie Reid/MLB Photos via Getty Images The Yankees’ offense is tumbling into a season nadir, getting shut out in three straight games and scoring three or fewer runs in each of the last six contests. The downturn is coming at the worst possible time, their AL East foes hitting their strides to narrow the gap in the division to just 2.5 games heading into Tuesday’s tilt against the Angels.

Troy Taormina-Imagn Images The Yankees picked an awful time to falter to divisional opposition, dropping two series to the Red Sox in the span of a week. The offense’s late fight back wasn’t in time to erase the early deficit, the 4-3 loss meaning they can at best avoid being swept by their rivals. Practically the entire Junior Circuit was in play yesterday afternoon, so let’s recap the relevant results.

Photo by Madison McCall/Minor League Baseball via Getty Images There’s been a minor shake-up to the Yankees bullpen to bring a fresh face into the fold. Prior to tonight’s game against the Royals, the Yankees have recalled Scott Effross for his season debut, optioning Brent Headrick to Triple-A as the corresponding move. Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees recalled RHP Scott Effross (#57) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. — Yankees PR Dept.

Photo by Rob Tringali/MLB Photos via Getty Images The recent series loss to the Red Sox was made all the more frustrating by the fact that with just one or two fewer mistakes by the pitching staff, it felt like the Yankees easily could have swept the three games. Both starters and relievers are to blame for the 27 runs given up across the three game. That being said, it was encouraging to see the offense put in three straight solid performances, themselves scoring 23 runs.
