NEW YORK (AP) Clint Frazier was batting in the seventh inning when some Yankees fans erupted, throwing about a half dozen balls on the field and causing the game to be stopped for 2 minutes, 15 seconds.
By the end of Friday night, New York manager Aaron Boone let loose during a rare postgame meeting with his underperforming players after an 8-2 defeat to the Tampa Bay Rays dropped the Yankees to an AL-worst 5-8.
“We know adversity is coming for you at some point in the season. It’s knocking on our door right now, and we’ve got to answer it,” Boone said.

The reigning AL champions are 4-1 against New York this season and 7-1 at Yankee Stadium since the start of 2020. They have won seven straight series against New York, including last year’s Division Series, and taken 17 of 22 games since September 2019.
NEW YORK (AP) â Manuel Margot hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, Tyler Glasnow overcame cramps and poor control to pitch five innings of one-run ball and the Tampa Bay Rays held off the struggling New York Yankees 6-3 Saturday.
The Yankees dropped to an AL-worst 5-9, the latest into a season New York is at the bottom of the league since a 9-17 start in 1991, per Elias Sports. Fans in the Bronx again booed the Bombers, but they were more restrained a day after some hurled baseballs and other items on the field late in an 8-2 loss to the Rays.
