Yankees’ Anthony Volpe hears loud boos after fitting cap to brutal ALDS

2 hours ago 3

Heroes and zeros from the Yankees’ 5-2 season-ending loss to the Blue Jays in ALDS Game 4 at the Stadium.

Hero

Cam Schlittler against a bullpen game seemed like a matchup until Johnny Wholestaff was put into motion. Eight different Blue Jays pitchers held the Yankees to six hits and two runs while striking out nine.

Zero

After an excellent wild-card series, Anthony Volpe sunk to 1-for-15 with 11 strikeouts in the ALDS. He chased Strike 3 in the seventh inning and heard loud boos on the way to the dugout. In the ninth, Aaron Boone sat Volpe for pinch-hitter Jasson Domínguez.

Stat: 16

Years without a Yankees World Series championship.
