Lombard Jr. Ties Yankees Error Record | New York Yankees News

George Lombard Jr. is tying a Yankees record with five straight games featuring an error, matching a streak last seen in 1989 — and it’s putting pressure on the team as they race toward the playoffs. Though his defensive lapses have cost them crucial moments, like Wednesday’s game where his error tied the score against the Astros, he’s still delivering offensively as a promising rookie. Manager Aaron Boone calls it “a little bump in the road,” betting on his talent to rebound. With the postseason just 30 games away, the Yankees need their defense to tighten — and Lombard Jr. is expected to rise above these early hiccups and become a cornerstone of their future.
