Following his team being swept by the Red Sox over the weekend, Yankees manager Aaron Boone offered a candid overview.
The 6-5 defeat, New York’s eighth in a row (the team’s longest losing streak since 1995), dropped Boone’s team to 60-64 on the season, last in the division with just 38 games remaining.
“They’ve kicked our ass,” Boone told reporters after the game. “We’ve played a handful of competitive games that have come down to the end. We just haven’t been good enough.”
Sunday’s result came despite Boston blowing a late lead, a tough blow for the Yankees.
