The Yankees made a couple of mistakes in the field, which led to a couple of runs for theRays. There is a delay of1:45.
The Yankees left fielder was pulled from the game on Friday night after a pair of defensive gaffes, and fans in the Bronx booed him.
There were two outs in the fourth. Franco's liner went off his glove and to the ground as he tried to track it down. When he realized it was in play, he stopped chasing the ball. It was too late, as the two runners came around to score.
After Randy Arozarena stepped up, he sent a fly ball to left that was not caught and led to another run.
Fans showered the veteran outfielder with boos and even a reference to the Yankees outfielder traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers last month after a dismal year in New York.
Estevan Florial took over in the field in the nextinning.
"I just felt like I needed to get him out of there at that point, so it was just the decision I made at that point," he said.
The second one is very difficult. I thought Franco ran it down after jumping on it. It's disappointing. There is a level of feelings for him there. At that time, I felt like I needed to change.
He was asked if the fans' reaction made a difference in his decision.
He said that it was baked into his decision to make it. I felt like it was necessary.
He said he should have caught two fly balls.
I didn't play in the game. He struck out in his only two at-bats. All you want to do is help your team.
The thing is what it is. I have to make sure I'm ready for tomorrow.
The New York Yankees' outfielder has struggled this season, hitting just.212 with six home runs and 36 strikeouts. He has been playing a lot in the wake of Andrew Benintendi's injury.
The Yankees lead the American League East by 312 games with the first game of the series on Saturday and the second game on Monday.
