Aaron Boone’s confidence not shaken by Yankees closer Devin Williams’ struggles
NY Post
No, four suspect outings was not enough to shake Aaron Boone’s confidence in Devin Williams.
“He’s our closer,” the Yankees manager said Friday. “… He’s going to get through this.”
This has been a surprisingly human beginning of his Yankees career for Williams, who came over this winter with a résumé as one of, if not the best, relievers in baseball for the last handful of seasons.
About as automatic as a reliever can be was anything but in his first four games, none of which involved a clean inning.
He nearly blew an Opening Day win over the Brewers, gave up a game-winning hit in Pittsburgh on Sunday and allowed three runs in Wednesday’s ninth inning before Mark Leiter Jr. bailed him out.
Entering Friday’s series opener against the Giants in The Bronx, Williams had allowed four earned runs on five hits and four walks in three innings (for a 12.00 ERA).
