Overview

• The Yankees fell 8–5 to the Rangers in 10 innings after Devin Williams gave up a tying homer in the ninth and Josh Jung delivered a walk-off three-run blast, extending their losing streak to four games and sliding to 60–53.
• Three of the Yankees’ deadline bullpen acquisitions—Camilo Doval, Jake Bird and David Bednar—have now combined to surrender multiple late-inning leads in consecutive games.
• Pete Alonso hit his 251st career homer in Monday’s loss, moving within one of the Mets’ franchise record but his teammates fell short in a 7–6 10th-inning defeat to the Guardians.
• Since debuting, Ryan Helsley, Tyler Rogers and Gregory Soto have allowed just one unearned run and struck out seven in 4⅓ innings of work for the Mets’ high-leverage relief corps.
• With the Yankees riding a four-game skid and the Mets dropping consecutive post-deadline series, both New York clubs face sharp midseason tests of their playoff viability.
