Overview

  • Miami, which trailed 4-3 entering the eighth on Sunday, surged to a 7-6 win that ended the Yankees’ four-game streak.
  • Max Fried went 6 2/3 innings with three runs allowed after a 3-hour, 35-minute delay, and two replay overturns in the sixth helped him preserve a 4-3 lead.
  • The eighth inning unraveled when Fernando Cruz and Jake Bird issued back-to-back walks and Bird hit a pinch-hitter to load the bases.
  • Pinch-hitter Graham Pauley then lined a go-ahead, two-run double off Jake Bird, and Xavier Edwards followed with a two-run single.
  • The result highlighted bullpen depth and execution issues and spotty situational hitting, as New York went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and drew a franchise-record 29 walks in the series.
