Aaron Boone loses another series to the Boston Red Sox—this time, the New York Yankees were thoroughly outplayed and swept in three games, exposing just how many issues the Bombers still need to fix.
After the Game 3 loss, Boone acknowledged the team’s struggles, saying, “They took us down this weekend, back-to-back weekends. So you hate that, but we have a really good club. Just didn’t play our best here this weekend.” The Yankees fell 2-0 in the series finale.
Despite the sweep, Boone didn’t sound overly alarmed. “Concerning? I mean, I wouldn’t put it that way,” he said. “I would just say, you always — especially when you’re playing the Red Sox — you always want to put your best foot forward.”
Boone found a silver lining in the Yankees’ pitching.
Even though Boston completed the sweep, the Yankees’ pitching wasn’t the main issue. The games were all close—2-1, 4-3, and 2-0. Boone defended his rotation and bullpen, including starts from Fried, Rodón, and Yarbrough.
“Obviously had a hard time putting runs on the board,” Boone said. “I thought overall, I thought we pitched pretty well and did enough run prevention wise to keep them in check to hopefully win some games, but we just didn’t get much going.”
