Aaron Boone discusses the impressive patience from his hitters against Kevin Gausman following their 11-2 win in Game 1 vs. the Blue Jays

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has removed Devin Williams from his role as the team's closer. It was only a matter of time.

With the Yankees leading 2-1, Williams surrendered a leadoff single by George Springer and hit Andres Gimenez in the thigh with a fastball. The next batter, Alejandro Kirk, hammered a double over the head of centerfielder Trent Grisham that drove in both runners. That brought an end to Williams’ outing as he was replaced by Mark Leiter Jr.
