Jazz Chisholm Jr. couldn’t stay quiet and spoke as directly as possible about the mistakes his New York Yankees teammates made in the first of four games against the Boston Red Sox, a matchup that ended in a loss for the Bombers. Aaron Boone also weighed in, but from a different perspective.
Chisholm Jr. was one of the players who committed an error against the Red Sox, and about that he admitted, “It just slipped out of my hand.” Still, he avoided criticizing his Yankees teammates, adding, “I feel like we have great fielders on the team, we’ve got a bunch of Gold Glovers in the infield.”
Those mistakes, however, played a clear role in helping Boston take control of a game that had been tied at one point. The Yankees’ lack of composure was obvious, something Boone emphasized while addressing the team’s four errors.
Boone’s rough night
Boone acknowledged it was a poor performance from the Yankees, especially in the second half of the game. “Just not a real clean game for us,” he said, referring not only to the four errors but also to the nine walks that proved costly.
For Boone, it was simply too many “free bases” handed out by his pitching staff. Still, he noted the walks were at least somewhat under control during the early innings. On Luke Weaver’s outing, Boone said, “I thought his stuff was fine, actually good. Just looked like he was missing off the plate just a little bit.”
Errors pile up in one inning
Three of the Yankees’ four errors came in the second inning, a rarity not seen since the early 20th century. “Before tonight, the last time the Yankees committed 4+ errors and walked 9+ batters in a 9-inning game at HOME was… May 11, 1912,” reported Katie Sharp on X.

Ryan Garcia also noted on X: “The Yankees have committed 74 errors in 2025. 25.7% of those errors have come in their 17 games against the Red Sox and Blue Jays, which makes up just 13.4% of their season.”
