Paul Goldschmidt addresses why Yankees struggled against Athletics pitchers

Paul Goldschmidt was one of the three players to register a hit in a disappointing offensive effort on Saturday. After the loss, Goldschmidt shared his honest opinion on why the New York Yankees struggled against Athletics starter JP Sears, who pitched 5.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts to his name.

JP Sears just did a good job, located really well, and mixed up his pitches, Goldschmidt said. He used all of them, I mean, same thing with Jack Perkins, who came in behind him.

He was using a fastball, slider, cutter, and change. We weren't really able to get any momentum going, and they won the game, and we'll come out and be ready to go tomorrow.

The New York Yankees have seen a dip in their form in the month of June as they are going 12-13, scoring 98 runs and conceding 85. Goldschmidt was one of the consistent hitters leading up to June, is batting .231 with four home runs, 11 RBIs in his last 25 games. He took the blame for the team's form, saying,

But, you know, I haven’t played well for the last few weeks, maybe even this whole month. That’s hurt our team.

Paul Goldschmidt on shoutout loss against Athletics

Despite a series of poor results in recent times, Paul Goldschmidt is backing his team to bounce back from here. He feels that inconsistency is part of the sport and teams need to learn from their mistakes.

It's just baseball. We just haven't performed our best the last couple of weeks, but there's going to be ups and downs, and I think the point is just to keep going, Goldschmidt said.

Keep making the adjustments that are needed individually and as a group and have good at-bats, that we're a very capable team. Just take it every day out there. Try to win as many games as possible.

The New York Yankees will be hoping to change their fortunes and make a comeback in the three match series against the Athletics. Currently, the series is tied at 1-1.
