With the Yankees leading, 2-1, Williams surrendered a leadoff hit to George Springer, then hit Andres Gimenez in the thigh with a fastball. The next batter, Alejandro Kirk, hammered a double over the head of Trent Grishman ( (to where??)) that scored both runners. That brought an end to Williams’ outing as he was replaced by Mark Leiter Jr.

It's been a rough opening month in pinstripes for Yankees closer Devin Williams. His latest ninth inning struggles, in Friday's blown save vs. Toronto, pushed his ERA to 11.25 in 10 appearances.

Both the fact that Boone and Williams still haven’t spoken and that Boone candidly admitted it is astonishing. Williams, a two-time All-Star with the Milwaukee Brewers, already owns an 11.25 ERA and -0.8 bWAR over eight innings.
