“Boone was tossed following the bottom of the seventh of the Yankees’ 5-4 win over the Blue Jays at the Stadium”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence confirms Aaron Boone has been ejected multiple times in 2024 and in previous years, none of the provided search results specifically confirm a 5-4 win over the Blue Jays where he was tossed after the bottom of the seventh. One result mentions a 6-4 loss and another a 5-4 win in Toronto, but not the specific ejection timing and score combination described.

“Boone, before the top of the eighth, got into a shouting match with second base umpire Brennan Miller, who promptly tossed the Yankees manager.”

The provided evidence for this claim consists of dictionary definitions of the word 'second' and unrelated Wikipedia entries. There is no evidence confirming an ejection of Aaron Boone by Brennan Miller before the top of the eighth in the context of this specific game.

“the Yankees lost their challenge when Anthony Volpe’s caught stealing was upheld in the bottom of the fourth.”
DISPUTED
The evidence directly contradicts the claim. A search result from Sportsnet.ca states that a coach's challenge by Aaron Boone regarding an Anthony Volpe play was actually successful (the call was reversed to a double), whereas the claim states the challenge was lost and the 'caught stealing' was upheld.

““You’re having a piece-of-s- -t start to this game,” Boone could be heard saying on the YES Network broadcast that July.”
CORROBORATED

“The Yankees... held on for the win to take their second straight over the rival Jays.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one source mentions a 5-4 win over the Blue Jays in Toronto, it notes that the Yankees had lost the first game of that series 4-1. This contradicts the claim that they took 'their second straight' win over the Jays in that specific instance. Other results show different scores (7-6, 8-5), providing no corroboration for a two-game winning streak in the provided context.
