Domínguez Error, Fan Backlash in Yankees' Loss

Yankees rookie Jasson Domínguez made a key baserunning error during the seventh inning of a 4-3 loss to the Red Sox, losing track of the strike count and being tagged out between bases to end a crucial rally. The incident sparked harsh backlash from fans, with some calling for Domínguez to be benched or sent to the minors despite his previous minor-league success. Domínguez took responsibility for the mistake and vowed to be more attentive, while manager Aaron Boone emphasized the need for better game awareness. Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged the pivotal nature of the play. The loss was compounded by a defensive error from Anthony Volpe and continued offensive struggles by the Yankees, who dropped another series to Boston and remain in pursuit of a playoff spot. Domínguez's mistake came during a personal slump at the plate, adding to the team's recent challenges.
