Aaron Boone’s defense of Anthony Volpe’s shortstop play hasn’t wavered, even as the errors — all 13 of them, tied for the third most in the majors — stacked up.

It’ll need to continue again after Monday, when Volpe botched another ball using his backhand in the eighth inning and boos filled Yankee Stadium after the sequence that was scored a hit but easily could’ve been error No. 14.

Boone remained adamant that Volpe is still a “top shortstop” in a postgame news conference last week. He ripped the “over the top” criticism that the 24-year-old faced in a recent “Talkin’ Yanks” podcast. Boone’s support — many times teetering between rational and delusional — “means the world” to Volpe, though he told The Post pregame that “I wish he didn’t ever have to need to have my back.”

For a seven-game stretch entering Sunday, Volpe hit .292 with a 1.099 OPS and four homers — and, perhaps most importantly, collected just three strikeouts in 24 at-bats. But after an 0-for-3 game and the miscue on José Caballero’s grounder in the Yankees’ 4-2 loss to the Rays, the streakiness wrinkle defining Volpe’s career has materialized again.
