Overview

  • Will Warren and Seth Lugo each delivered 5.2 scoreless innings in a classic pitchers’ duel.
  • Paul Goldschmidt’s RBI single in the eighth inning produced the game’s only run when Pablo Reyes capitalized on a chaotic play to score.
  • A 28-minute rain delay in the sixth inning briefly paused play before the Yankees resumed their shutout bid.
  • Devin Williams recorded his ninth save in the ninth inning after reclaiming closing duties following Luke Weaver’s injury.
  • The Yankees will open a three-game series at Fenway Park on Friday with a planned rotation of left-handers—Ryan Yarbrough, Carlos Rodón and Max Fried.
