The New York Yankees are going to try different pitchers in the closer role for a while, manager Aaron Boone said before their game against the Texas Rangers.
This decision comes after Clay Holmes, their usual closer, had his 11th blown save of the season, allowing the Rangers to win with a grand slam.
Boone believes Holmes can still be the dominant pitcher he was earlier in the season, but for now, they will use a variety of pitchers in save situations.
The team wants to put their pitchers in the best position to succeed, and will adjust their strategy based on the opposing team's hitters.
