It was the 10th inning, and the Yankees manager was caught between a rock, a hard place and Devin Williams. Unfortunately, Aaron Boone chose Williams.

Aaron Boone's decision to pitch struggling Yankees reliever Devin Williams in the 10th inning of Friday's series opener against the Houston Astros backfired.

Williams has struggled immensely in recent weeks and this season, allowing at least one earned run in eight of his last 14 games and posting a 5.73 ERA overall in his first year with the Yankees.
