The New York Yankees were shut out by the Tampa Bay Rays, continuing a trend of scoring woes with their fifth low-scoring game in their last 10 outings.

Yankees' star Aaron Judge had a notably poor performance, going 0 for 4 with four strikeouts, and faced disapproval from fans.

Judge's current statistics are the lowest of his career, leading to various theories about the cause of his slump.

Speculations around Judge's struggles include a batting slump, ongoing injuries, aging, or the pressures of high expectations.

The Yankees' overall season success is seen as partially dependent on Judge's ability to overcome his current challenges and contribute significantly.
