Yankees manager Aaron Boone had no problem confronting the reality of Wednesday night’s 4-0 loss to the Guardians during his postgame presser. His team, simply put, got outplayed. That’s going to happen over the course of a marathon season spanning 162 games.

The Yankees offense got nothing going in a five-hit shutout, falling 4-0 at the hands of the Guardians in front of 36,759 fans in The Bronx.

Max Fried allowed only an infield single to José Ramírez three batters into the game in six innings to bounce back from his first loss, and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-0 on Thursday night.
