Boone: Yankees will be 'ready to roll tomorrow' after gut-check loss
Aaron Boone is confident his New York Yankees will bounce back from their heartbreaking ALCS Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
"This is what we've been great at all year, and what that room has been great at all year," he said postgame, according to YES Network.
"We've had some tough losses that we've bounced back from. That stings when you get left there like that, especially after you've battled back against them like that. You sit in it for a minute, but we'll be ready to roll tomorrow."
The Yankees entered the ninth inning winning 5-3 after Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton stunned Progressive Field with back-to-back home runs in the eighth off star closer Emmanuel Clase.
New York got within one out of taking a commanding 3-0 series lead before Luke Weaver surrendered a game-tying home run to Jhonkensy Noel.
David Fry later won the game on a walk-off home run in the 10th.
"We've had adversity, and these guys haven't flinched at really anything," Boone added. "We've had some tough losses, been in the midst of some tough stretches, and these guys come in ready to roll every day and are able to flush it pretty easy."
The Yankees have never won a postseason series during which they have allowed a walk-off home run, per Sportsnet Stats.
ALCS Game 4 is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET on Friday.
