Overview

  • All three deadline acquisitions—Jake Bird (0.1 innings, four runs), David Bednar (1.2 innings, two runs) and Camilo Doval (0.2 innings, three runs)—struggled in their first appearances.
  • New York squandered 6-0 and 9-4 leads before rallying to 12-10 in the ninth only to drop a 13-12 decision on a Marlins walk-off.
  • Jose Caballero’s misplay in right field allowed the tying and winning runs to score in the ninth inning.
  • The defeat marked the first Yankees road loss after scoring 12 runs since 1940 and their first nine-inning game with 12+ runs conceded since 1973.
  • The loss drops New York closer to the wild-card cut line and intensifies criticism of Brian Cashman’s choice to prioritize relief over starting pitching at the deadline.
