Following the New York Yankees’ 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, there were reports that a players-only meeting took place.

The game marked a third consecutive shutout defeat, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone denied the meeting ever took place.

“Our guys talk all the time and get together in different formats,” Boone said. When asked if it was a players-only meeting, Boone said, “No. No.”

The Yankees broke their streak on Wednesday of 30 consecutive innings without a run off a Jazz Chisholm home run, but New York still lost, expanding the losing streak to six games.

The Yankees finished the game with just three hits, as superstar Aaron Judge continued his cold streak, going 0-4.

The Yankees end their series against the Angels on Thursday, looking to avoid a four-game sweep.

Their lead in the AL East has shrunk, with just a 1.5 game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees need to find some way to break out of their slump.

“I think you guys asked us the same questions last June when we were going through it,” Judge said. “Guys have been there. You always gotta show up and not mope about it. If you mope, you pout, it’s going to lead into the next game.”
