Boone has been ejected twice this season. He leads skippers with 34 ejections since becoming the Yankees’ manager in 2018.

With Boone watching from his office, Carlos Rodón surrendered just one hit while completing seven innings for the first time as a Yankee.

All of the lefty’s frames were scoreless. Rodón also walked two and struck out four over 92 pitches.

Rodón now has a 2.70 ERA this season. While going deep into games had been an issue prior to Monday, he’s looked far better than the injury-riddled pitcher who recorded a 6.85 ERA last season.

While Rodón shoved, the Yankees’ offense sputtered against JP Sears, a pitcher the team traded to Oakland in the ill-fated 2022 Frankie Montas deal.

Sears, another southpaw, blanked the Bombers for six innings while limiting them to one hit. He also struck out seven while issuing one walk over 91 pitches.

No runs were scored until the ninth inning. That’s when Oakland’s Zack Gelof blasted a two-run shot off Victor González, who had earned a save on Sunday.

Instead of answering back, the Yankees remained lifeless in the bottom of the inning against the flame-throwing Mason Miller. With the poor offensive showing, the team fell to 15-8 on the season.
