NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 14: Devin Williams #38 and Luke Weaver #30 of the New York Yankees talk before the game against the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium on April 14, 2025 in New York, New York.

Overview

  • The Miami Marlins completed the first three-game sweep of the Yankees in franchise history with a 7-3 victory Sunday at LoanDepot Park.
  • Deadline acquisitions David Bednar, Jake Bird and Camilo Doval allowed nine runs in 2⅓ innings and Jose Caballero’s ninth-inning misplay turned a 13-12 lead into a walk-off defeat Friday.
  • Luis Gil’s return from the injured list ended after four innings and five runs on Sunday, exposing further strain on a depleted rotation.
  • Manager Aaron Boone warned that it’s “gut check time” and catcher Ben Rice urged a heightened sense of urgency in response to the skid.
  • The losses dropped New York to 60-52, slipped the Yankees into third place in the AL East and parked them in a wild-card spot ahead of a road series in Texas.
