Overview
- Heliot Ramos recorded his first hit in pinstripes on Wednesday night when a flare to right scored a double and he slid into second after losing his helmet and left shoe.
- A short video of the play, shared by Jomboy Media, went viral and drew live commentary from the broadcast including Ryan Ruocco’s line noting Ramos had “lost all kinds of equipment.”
- Ramos also reached base later in the game after being hit by a pitch, showing early hustle and multiple contributions in his second game with the team.
- The Yankees lost the game 3-1 and stood 64-51 in the standings while holding the top AL wild‑card spot as they prepared for their next series.
- Ramos and fellow Deadline pickup Luis Garcia Jr. are part of modest, targeted additions meant to plug lineup holes while Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger are sidelined, and the club will watch their plate discipline and power in the stretch run.
