Paul Goldschmidt reflects on his decision during a critical play against the Philadelphia Phillies, admitting he should have prioritized the out at first base over an off-balance throw to home plate. This miscalculation was crucial as it allowed Trea Turner to score the tying run, contributing to the New York Yankees' poor performance in a 12-5 loss. The Yankees have now committed 54 errors this season, with Goldschmidt's mistake marking the third of his own. As the team struggles, manager Aaron Boone emphasized the need for players to step up and maintain focus as the club looks to turn its fortunes around.

The Yankees' pitching staff also faces challenges, with Luke Weaver giving up multiple homers this month. Despite the rough stretch, players like Austin Wells remain optimistic, believing better days are ahead. The Yankees sit 5.5 games behind the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays, making each game increasingly crucial.
