The Bronx Bombers are facing some pressure for their divisional lead in the AL East. New York is 48-35, with the Tampa Bay Rays only a game and a half out of first place. The Yankees recently hit a rough stretch, particularly on offense, but have since found their footing as the All-Star break looms in a couple of weeks.</p><p>Sunday was a vintage performance for this squad as the reigning pennant winners clocked four home runs, including two by AL MVP contender Aaron Judge. And Cody Bellinger also went yard for his eleventh home run in the fifth inning to all but put the game away. Before he went into the batter’s box to face left-hander Hogan Harris, the 29-year-old described a heartfelt interaction he had with a mom and her son at Yankee Stadium. Bellinger detailed this moment, which gave him chills shortly after, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/cody-bellinger-homers-after-good-luck-fist-bump-with-fan" rel="noopener">in an interview</a> with MLB.com’s Jared Greenspan.</p><p>“I was warming up, and the mom says, ‘Hey Cody, big fan, last time you gave him a fist bump you hit a homer. And I turn around, and I look, and I just saw these two people there. I was like, ‘Oh, that was really cool.’ So I turn around and I give another fist bump. Obviously, I had to go show him some love. Honestly, that was a pretty cool moment. It was just a really, really cool moment.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Yankees entered the contest on a six-game losing streak, seeing their lead in the AL East reduced to just 1.5 games over the Tampa Bay Rays in the process.</p><p>The Yankees fell behind 1-0 early in this game but tied it in the bottom of the first inning thanks to an RBI from Giancarlo Stanton on a fielder’s choice.</p><p>Cody Bellinger slid into second base and was called out, but replay review clearly showed that he had made it to the base in time, meaning the Yankees should have come away with no outs on the play.</p><p>Even after replay review, the officials still held up the call on the field, which had Yankees <a href="https://x.com/DaaaGandersLose/status/1935752004053156288" rel="noopener">fans on X</a>, formerly Twitter, outraged.</p><p>“MLB replay is broken,” wrote one fan.</p><p>“Why do you even have a replay rule? Bellinger was 100% safe,” added another, referring to the MLB replay system as “hot trash.”</p><p>Another fan referred to the Yankees’ recent history of getting the perceived short end of the stick on replay reviews.</p><p>“The MLB replay room screws the Yankees AGAIN!! Bellinger clearly touched second base first—CLEARLY—and they still upheld the call. Challenge gone in the FIRST INNING!! What are they watching, reruns of Friends?! Total joke. Worst replay system in sports!! RIGGED!!!” they wrote.</p><p>Overall, the Yankees can’t afford to get any tough breaks from the officials considering how poorly they’ve played over the last couple of weeks. The Yankees lost the first three games of their series versus the Angels this week and found themselves down 2-1 in Thursday’s game before it was delayed due to thunderstorms in the area.</p><p>The good news for the Yankees is that their crosstown rival New York Mets are also suffering along with them, currently on a five-game losing streak of their own.</p><p>After the series versus the Angels, the Yankees will next hit the field on Friday for a set against the Baltimore Orioles.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After a cold start with the Bombers, he has turned it up of late. He had a .308 batting average and .916 OPS from the start of May to the start of the Royals series. In April, he was hitting .204 with a .638 OPS.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/cody-bellinger-trade-grades-yankees-cubs">Yankees picked up Bellinger as one of their post-Juan Soto pieces</a>. They needed a new left-handed hitting outfielder, and the Cubs were willing to part with the veteran. It has not hurt Chicago this year, as they traded for Kyle Tucker and have gotten great numbers from Pete Crow-Armstrong this year. A win-win trade is rare in sports, but Bellinger is at the center of this one.</p><p>Despite the rough start, the Yankees should be thrilled with Bellinger so far. He has helped their defensive issues while providing Aaron Judge with lineup protection. His 1,000th hit was also his 36th RBI of the season, a solid pace through 65 team games.</p><p>The Yankees and Royals continue their series on Wednesday in KC, but fans likely have their sights set on the weekend. Bellinger and the Bombers head to Fenway for the first time this year on Friday. They lost a series at home to the Red Sox last weekend and could use the win.</p><p>The Yankees and Royals play Game 2 of their series on Wednesday at 7:40 P.M. Will Warren and Seth Lugo are scheduled to start the game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s been a heck of a sports weekend for the Empire State. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-move-on-to-pacers-after-eliminating-celtics-in-game-6">Knicks made their first Eastern Conference Finals</a> since 2000 on Friday, and the Subway Series took place between two legitimate World Series contenders over the past three days.</p><p>Hart, who has thrown out the first pitch for the Bronx Bombers before, excitedly reacted to Bellinger’s homer over social media, which put the Yankees up 8-2. And he <a href="https://x.com/Yankees/status/1924293576545947889" rel="noopener">got a reaction</a> from the franchise’s Twitter page to his post.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">So true, <a href="https://twitter.com/joshhart?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@joshhart</a>. <a href="https://t.co/jQDcBbf8cj">https://t.co/jQDcBbf8cj</a> <a href="https://t.co/22XYBCKbpF">pic.twitter.com/22XYBCKbpF</a></p><p>— New York Yankees (@Yankees) <a href="https://twitter.com/Yankees/status/1924293576545947889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 19, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Josh Hart will be even more critical in the Knicks’ series against the Indiana Pacers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Josh-Hart.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-tom-thibodeau-celtics-upset-championship-goal">Knicks shocked the world</a> against the Boston Celtics. So many pundits believed New York did not stand a chance against the defending champs. And some of the reasons for these takes made sense since the Knicks hadn’t shown that extra gear to compete with the elite of the NBA during the regular season. But the playoffs are a completely different animal, and this squad was built for this time of the year. Regardless of what happened during the regular season, this group put itself in a position where the season’s success would be determined by what it did in the playoffs.</p><p>Knicks subsequently lived up to the moment and these hefty expectations. What’s especially noteworthy is the extra gear this team has shown on defense in the postseason. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-gritty-win-mikal-bridges-heroics-prove-ny-is-ready-to-compete-for-nba-title">Mikal Bridges has been</a> the elite point-of-attack defender New York traded for this past offseason, while OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson have been absolute menaces on this side of the court. Jalen Brunson has also held up well, especially while the Celtics hunted him. New York is going to need to be just as disciplined, if not more so, against an Indiana Pacers team that relentlessly attacks mismatches.</p><p>Overall, sometimes the best way to temper an explosive offense is to exhaust an opponent on defense. That is exactly what Josh Hart must do when he is likely Tyrese Haliburton’s defensive assignment. Hart must be relentless, not letting the Pacers’ star point guard rest on defense and especially on the offensive glass.</p><p>Overall, Indiana will try to turn this series into a track meet to wear down a thinner New York roster. It was vital that the Knicks finished off their series with the Celtics on Friday to ensure they had this amount of rest and prep time for their new opponents. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/3-reasons-knicks-will-get-revenge-on-pacers-in-2025-eastern-conference-finals">New York is looking for revenge</a> for last season’s elimination in the second round. Hart will need his best series this postseason for the Knicks to become Eastern Conference champions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
