United StatesYankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. tied the team's franchise record for consecutive games with errors after committing one in his sixth straight appearance, matching the 1921 mark by Chick Fewster. His streak of errors, which includes a costly play in the eighth inning against the Astros, makes him the first Yankees shortstop to achieve this since Roger Peckinpaugh in 1915. While his fielding percentage has dropped to .925, manager Aaron Boone remains confident in his abilities, emphasizing his skill and foundational talent. The error streak comes amid high stakes as the Yankees prepare for a crucial series against the Red Sox in their pursuit of a wild-card spot.
