TORONTO — New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Anthony Volpe has made “a few too many” fielding errors this season after the shortstop made his 12th miscue of the season in a 4-1 loss at Toronto. He’s now tied for most in the American League.

When the New York Yankees lost 4-1 to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night, a handful of players could have taken the heat — Carlos Rodón for his inconsistent command, Anthony Volpe for yet another defensive lapse, or even Aaron Boone for his questionable late-game decisions. Instead, the harshest spotlight landed on Oswald Peraza.

Giancarlo Stanton stayed hot homering in the fourth for a 1-0 Yankees lead Monday night, the Blue Jays countered in the fifth when Bo Bichette laced a two-out, two-run double off laboring lefty Carlos Rodon and then speedy outfielder Myles Straw hit a groundball a couple steps to third baseman’s Oswald Peraza ’s left.

The New York Yankees have fallen to four games back of the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League East following their loss on Monday night.
