The New York Yankees faced another challenging outing on Wednesday, succumbing to the Toronto Blue Jays with a final score of 8-4. Despite the disappointing result, Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed his belief that the performance does not accurately depict the true capabilities of his team.

In an address to reporters following the game, Boone asserted that the Yankees are 'a very good defensive team,' even as they uncharacteristically committed four errors within just three innings of play. He attributed the team's struggles to a series of poor performances during their matchups against the Blue Jays, noting that the Yankees have recorded a total of 12 errors across 10 games against Toronto this season.

The recent downturn has seen the Yankees, who started the 2025 season with a strong 42-25 record, slip to 14-21 over their last 35 games. This shift in performance has allowed the Blue Jays to establish a substantial lead in the AL East, with New York now trailing Toronto by four games with a record of 56-46. Boone's persistent support for his players has drawn mixed reactions from fans, many of whom have not seen a World Series title since 2009. The Yankees will have a day to regroup before commencing a series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.
