NEW YORK -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi is defending his handling of the team this year, saying: "I did what I thought was right every day."
New York led the AL East by seven games in late July but finished 87-75, six games behind first-place Toronto. In their first postseason appearance since 2012, the Yankees were eliminated with a 3-0 loss to Houston on Tuesday night in the AL wild-card game.
