TORONTO — For a team with a great bullpen, the Yankees so far have one lousy bullpen.

Aaron Boone noted it has been just four games and that small samples are magnified this time of year because all that is available are small samples. He promised that over the full season the relief corps would be “not just a strength but an overwhelming strength.”

For now, though, it is making the new manager look bad. He was burned asking Dellin Betances to go a second inning Saturday.
