Continues to impress
- Trent Grisham hit a 2-run HR off Pivetta
- Volpe hit a sac fly scoring Goldschmidt from third
- In the eighth inning, Boone went to Devin Williams who struck out the first hitter he faced, then walked Tyler Wade, allowed a single then struck out Tatis and then he walked Arraiz to load the bases for Machado.
- Boone brought Weaver in and Machado hit a double, then Bogarts hit a single to take a 4-3 lead in the eighth. That was Weaver's first earned run this season and first blown save.
- The Yankees could not rally and get a run to come back against the Padres bullpen.
- The Yankees have no ability to come back in games they trail in:
Worst W-L in Games Decided by 2 or Fewer Runs This Season:
— Katie Sharp (@SharpStats17) May 5, 2025
White Sox 2-13 (.133)
Twins 4-11 (.267)
Rockies 4-11 (.267)
Yankees 6-12 (.333)
- This could go down as an early season worst loss of the year because it's as game your starter put it all on the line and your bullpen blew it.
- Williams should have been pulled before facing Luis Arrais.
- Williams has now given up more runs in 2025 than in the past two years combined
Devin Williams Last 2 Seasons
