Overview

  • David Bednar, Camilo Doval and Jake Bird each surrendered nine runs and nine hits in just 2⅓ innings during their Yankees debuts.
  • New York blew 6-0, 9-4 and 12-10 leads before José Caballero’s ninth-inning misplay allowed the Marlins to walk off.
  • The 13-12 defeat marked the franchise’s first road loss after scoring 12 runs since 1940 and its first nine-inning game loss while scoring at least 12 runs since 1973.
  • YES announcer Michael Kay condemned the meltdown as the “worst loss of the year” and singled out the relievers’ failures as evidence of deeper bullpen issues under Aaron Boone.
  • Brian Cashman’s deadline-day plan to shore up a historically poor relief corps has drawn widespread second-guessing after the relievers’ disastrous first outing.
