The New York Yankees have kicked off a road trip in disgusting style, as their hopes of making the playoffs fade. With the Angels up to bat leading 6-3, a slim chance of a comeback was shattered by the eighth inning. Tommy Kahnle of the Yankees scored a runner from second on a ground rule double, effectively ending any chance of a win. When Kahnle hurled his glove at a cooling fan in the dugout, destroying it, he may have pitched his most accurate pitch of the night.

As New York's air quality index reaches a 185 rating due to smoke overtaking the sky as a result of Canadian wildfires, the Yankees took the field in potentially volatile weather. On Tuesday, thick smoke from the north descended on New York City, with an orange glow hanging above the iconic skyline, covering the Statue of Liberty's famed monuments. The Bronx was no exception, as the sky over Yankee Stadium glowed a mix of orange and dark grey.

With a dramatic 3-2 victory on opening day, the Chicago White Sox spoiled the Houston Astros' World Series championship defense. Despite scoring the first run of the game in the seventh inning, Houston failed at the plate after mustering up only four hits in the game. In the ninth game, Chicago rallied to take the lead after three runs between the games' final two innings.

The Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 in Game Four and even the series, with just the second no-hitter in World Series history on Wednesday. Cristian Javier, a starter, went six innings and struck out nine, Bryan Abrams in the seventh, Rafael Montero threw a flawless eighth, and Ryan Pressley closed out the third no-hitter in MLB postseason history. After third baseman Alex Bregman fielded a difficult ground ball to win, Javier rushed to the mound and lifted Pressly in the air in celebration.

When you're the New York Yankees, this isn't good enough, and the usual caveats don't apply. It's not enough to make the playoffs every year, but it does not appear in nearly half of the sport these days. If the results don't add up and you're outspent by your cross-town rivals anyway, it isn't enough to have unlimited funds.
