The Yankees may be in second-place, but their fans absolutely lead the league in booing.
In a season where Giancarlo Stanton and Sonny Gray got viciously booed by their home fans, newly-acquired Zach Britton was the latest to get the Yankee Stadium treatment.
After retiring the first two batters of the seventh inning in a tie game against the Royals Saturday night, Britton allowed two hits and a walk. The lefty then proceeded to walk No. 9 hitter Drew Butera to force in the go-ahead run. The reliever was roundly booed by the home fans before getting the final out on a Whit Merrifield ground out.
Britton had pitched a perfect inning in his Yankees debut Thursday.
