Yankees believe they need more team energy


All-Star outfielder Aaron Judge believes his New York Yankees need to rediscover the habits they established during their torrid start to the season.

"Just gotta have a little better energy in the dugout and push each other a little bit," Judge said.

New York has lost 14 of its last 17 contests and has seen the Toronto Blue Jays slash its AL East lead to just seven games.

The Yankees' offense has fallen flat in August. They sit 26th in the majors in runs scored (58) and 25th in OPS (.645) this month. Judge understands the lineup needs to improve at the plate to get back on track.
