The New York Yankees escaped with a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday despite several blunders. While Anthony Volpe \u2013 the player Yankees fans love to hate \u2013 was guilty of one of New York\u2019s major miscues, Austin Wells had the evening\u2019s biggest gaffe. The Yankees\u2019 second-year catcher was caught napping, getting doubled up after he forgot how many outs there were in the ninth inning,<\/p>\n

While Volpe had his own issues, the Yankees only survived Wells\u2019 mistake because the shortstop hit a game-tying solo home run earlier in the ninth. New York would ultimately win on a Ryan McMahon walk-off in the 11th inning.<\/p>\n

Manager Aaron Boone likes what he\u2019s seen from the much derided third-year pro. \u201cFeel like he\u2019s swinging the bat well,\u201d Boone said of Volpe, per SNY Yankees Videos. \u201cI feel like he’s made some good adjustments and it’s showing well kind of under the hood, and now the last 10 days or so he’s started to get some results. Obviously hit some balls out of the ballpark, that helps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Volpe’s finding his power stroke. After his game-tying, ninth-inning bomb off Rays\u2019 closer Pete Fairbanks, Volpe has home runs in consecutive contests. And he now has six homers in his last 11 games.<\/p>\n

The shot was Volpe\u2019s 16th of the season. And fans would wholeheartedly be celebrating the Gold Glove shortstop\u2019s sudden power surge had he not also picked up his 16th error of the year on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Volpe continues to struggle mightily in the field. Yankees fans let him hear it after his MLB-leading 16th error in the eighth inning against the Rays. It was his third error in the last two games and his fifth since July 21.<\/p>\n

The poor defensive play and the .217\/.285\/.415 slash line raise questions about Volpe\u2019s future with the Yankees. But his manager has repeatedly come to his defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as, obviously, understandably, Volp\u2019s been a focus for a number of reasons, he\u2019s really good at just [focusing on] today\u2026 That\u2019s a big at-bat there. And a tough one with Fairbanks. To go down and scoop that out and put it in the seats was one of the many big moments for us tonight,\u201d Boone said of Volpe\u2019s ninth-inning heroics Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
