**Rockies Stun Yankees in Upset Victory, Adding to New York Sports Woes**

DENVER – In a stunning upset, the Colorado Rockies, mired in the worst 50-game start to a season in the Modern Era, defeated the New York Yankees 3-2 on Friday night at Coors Field. The loss, which was so unexpected it made the Rockies a trending topic on social media, further dampened the spirits of New York sports fans already reeling from the Knicks’ playoff struggles.

The Yankees, who had been on a hot streak after sweeping the Texas Rangers and winning 11 of their last 14 games, struggled to find their rhythm at the hitter-friendly Coors Field. Aaron Judge hit his 17th home run of the season, tying him for the Major League lead, but the rest of the lineup managed only five singles.

Rockies pitcher Tanner Gordon, a late call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque, delivered a stellar performance, keeping the Yankee bats at bay. Yankees catcher Austin Wells was critical of the game stating that they hit the ball hard, but it “didn’t go their way.”

The loss was a rare one for the Yankees, representing a significant disparity in winning percentages between the two teams. “Anytime you lose, we’re pissed off,” said Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt. “We’re not trying to go out there and lose ballgames.”

Despite the disappointing outcome, Yankees manager Aaron Boone remained optimistic. “Our focus was good, our conversations were right,” he said. “We didn’t get a big hit to break open an inning or whatever. But it’s gonna happen.”
