Yankees Manager Gives Five-Word Response on Slugging Outfielder's Batting Average

The New York Yankees lost their second consecutive game to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday, extending their streak without a series win to four. Heading into a series against the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays, the team faces questions about its offensive production.

The team's primary power hitter entered Friday's game with a .250 batting average after going hitless in Thursday's 2-0 loss.

Boone offered a five-word response when asked about the situation: "Some fastballs got on him." Boone added that the performance appeared timing-related, stating the hitter was "a little out in front of some other pitches." The team begins its series against the Rays on Friday at Yankee Stadium.
