The Yankees may need to clean up at the cleanup spot.

Austin Wells' tough October didn't get any better on Tuesday as he went scoreless again and is on a 0-19 postseason drought following Tuesday's 6-3 win in Game 2 of the ALCS over Cleveland.

And he has nine strikeouts in that time.

Now that Anthony Rizzo is healthy and has played well in the last two games after being sidelined for 16 days with two broken fingers on his right hand, and another left-hander, Jazz Chisholm Jr., added a double, Boone will at least have to consider moving one of them up the order – or the left-swinging Wells – down the order.

It was a topic that was brought up before Wells' last tough night.

“I always think about things, but I didn’t really think about that for today,” Boone said of Wells’ fall. “I feel like Austin, even though he's had some struggles offensively, he still had some really big moments and some key positions over the last month. I still feel like that’s in it for him and I’m hoping he can get really hot here for a few weeks with us too, which would be great.”

That seems less likely as its crisis deepens.

Still, the Yankees had barely missed a beat without performances from Wells and the man ahead of him in the order, Aaron Judge.

Before Tuesday, the third and fourth batters in the lineup were a combined 4-for-35 with one extra-base hit, eight walks and 14 strikeouts.

Judge obviously wasn't going anywhere, but Boone said he still had faith in Wells, too.

“I don’t think he’s swung it as well in a few weeks as he did in the two months he was, man, great,” Boone said of the rookie catcher. “But I don’t feel like he’s that far away either.”

Perhaps Rizzo's lack of strength since returning from a broken right forearm in early September played a role, but he hit the ball hard in the ALCS.

That's something Wells hasn't done much lately, and the Yankees won't be able to beat the AL Central to the title, so they'll almost certainly need more production from someone in the four-hole range .
