The New York Yankees lost 7-5 to the Tampa Bay Rays, marking their second straight series loss to an AL East competitor. Rookie Will Warren struggled on the mound with five runs allowed over several innings, despite striking out a career-high eight batters. The offense showed resilience, particularly with Cody Bellinger's two-run homer and contributions from Aaron Judge and Jorbit Vivas. However, the Rays' bullpen held firm, limiting the Yankees' comeback efforts and leaving them out-hit by a significant margin. Next, the Yankees will face the Padres.
Rookie Will Warren endured a tough outing from the start after a rain delay pushed the first pitch back 30 minutes. The right-hander struggled with command and was hurt by a fielding error from Oswald Peraza in the second.
The offense showed some life late. Cody Bellinger put the Yankees on the board in the sixth with a two-run shot, the 200th homer of his career.
Despite the late push, the Yankees were out-hit 16-8, indicating a significant challenge in their offensive strategy and execution throughout the game.
The Yankees now turn the page to a new series Monday night, with Carlos Rodón set to face the red-hot Nick Pivetta and the San Diego Padres.
