After the game, manager Aaron Boone was asked about Chisholm Jr. when he met with the media (via YES Network).

Reporter: “We’ve asked you a lot about Jazz over the past couple weeks. Three more hits today. Are you seeing good signs from him?”

Boone: “Yeah, it’s probably the best few games he’s strung together. So hopefully that’s where he’s headed… I feel like all year he’s had that game where it’s like, okay, here we go, and then he takes a step back. On base all four times I think tonight. Really good, competitive at-bats on a lot of pitches. And certainly this is what he’s capable of. He’s capable of really impacting the game when he’s right, and it’s been good to see him string these kind of days together.”
