The Yankees entered the 2021 season expecting to contend for the World Series. The Yankees' Opening Day was on April 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium with 20% capacity. The full crowd at Globe Life Field got to witness starting pitcher Corey Kluber throw a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers on May 19. The Yankees turned an 'around-the-horn' triple play on May 21 against the Chicago White Sox starting with third baseman Gio Urshela to second baseman Rougned Odor and then to first baseman Luke Voit.

During a game against the Toronto Blue Jays in Buffalo, New York, on June 17, the Yankees turned the first 1-3-6-2-5-6 triple play in major league history. The franchise had never turned more than one triple play in a season. Then on June 20, with 100% full crowd capacity, the Yankees turned their record-tying third triple play of the season to strand the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth inning, shutting down the Oakland Athletics and winning the game.[2]

The Yankees underperformed throughout the regular season and were 41–41, with 80 games left to play on July 4. The Yankees went 51–29 in their final 80 games including a season-high 13 game winning streak, their longest winning streak since 1961. On October 3, the Yankees clinched a Wild Card berth with a 1–0 win against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees finished the regular season with a 92–70 record and qualified for the postseason as the fifth seed in the American League (AL), before losing to the fourth-seed Boston Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Game at Fenway Park on October 5, their fifth consecutive playoff exit.[3]

From September 6–9, the Yankees never led in the 4-game series against the Blue Jays, the first time since 1924 they never led in a 4-game series in the regular season.
