Yanks' Boone critical of Grisham for lack of hustle on error play in loss

NEW YORK -- Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke to Trent Grisham over the center fielder's failure to hustle in the ninth inning of an 8-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds and said it was "a bad look."

Grisham didn't charge Jeimer Candelario's two-out hit Thursday, then bobbled the ball for an error that allowed Candelario to take second. The Yankees went on to get swept by the Reds, their 13th loss in 17 games.
