Yankees’ Anthony Volpe explains what went wrong on costly error

Anthony Volpe admitted that he got played on Wednesday night, and it cost the Yankees a chance to end their five-game losing streak.

In the top of the eighth inning, with the game tied 2-2 and the bases loaded with one out, Jo Adell hit a grounder to the third-year shortstop, who bobbled the ball in front of him and proceeded to errantly throw too wide of Oswald Peraza at second base.

The crucial error allowed the go-ahead run for the Angels in their 3-2 win in The Bronx despite the Yankees breaking their brutal 30-inning streak without scoring a run.

Volpe was quick to shake his head following the play and had few words to say after the game.

“Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be aggressive. Go get the ball and make the play,” Volpe said of the error. “As far as that, that’s all it is. It’s the first read off the bat.

“It was hit sharp. It looked like it hopped up a little bit. I haven’t watched the replay of it yet and you know, obviously, didn’t handle the ball,” manager Aaron Boone said.
