Boone’s decision, like most he’s made these days, backfired with Williams allowing two runs to send the Yankees to a fifth straight loss in their 2-0 setback. Williams is now 3-4 with a ghastly 5.44 ERA and has allowed runs in six of eight appearances in the second half, including four straight, to post a 9.39 ERA in this stretch.

The New York Yankees may be reaching a breaking point with Devin Williams. His struggles continued on Tuesday night against the Texas Rangers.
