The boo birds rained down on Jonathan Holder on Monday night in Yankee Stadium. Despite a 10-2 lead, the once reliable Holder allowed five runs in the eighth inning and forced New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone to dip into his high-leverage relievers.
For Holder, it was another brutal outing amidst a string of forgettable performances. Unfortunately for the 26-year-old, it cost him a trip to London. The Bronx Bombers play the Boston Red Sox in a two-game series in London this weekend.
The Yankees optioned Holder to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after the game so he could work out some of the kinks.
