Boone Criticizes Wells' Base-Running Mistake in Yankees' Loss to Rays

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone criticized catcher Austin Wells for a "not a good decision" after Wells was thrown out at third base in the eighth inning of Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Wells doubled with two outs to break up Drew Rasmussen's no-hitter but attempted to stretch it into a triple and was easily thrown out. Boone called it a mistake, while Wells said he misjudged the ball's bounce off the wall and was trying to be aggressive with the team struggling offensively. The blunder ended New York's best scoring chance against Rasmussen, who struck out 10. The Yankees trail the series and start ace Cam Schlittler in Game 2 on Monday, with the mistake potentially looming larger if they exit the playoffs.
