"The Yankees were undone by a four-run eighth, as Fernando Cruz, Jake Bird and Ryan Yarbrough combined to allow the go-ahead runs. Cruz issued a walk before Bird loaded the bases and gave up a two-run double to Graham Pauley."
"New York built an early lead behind Ben Rice, who launched a three-run home run in the first inning. The Yankees added another run in the third on a defensive miscue, but missed opportunities throughout the night proved costly."
"Max Fried delivered 6.2 innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out four. He worked out of trouble in the sixth with key defensive plays, including a pickoff and a throw from Jose Caballero to cut down a runner at the plate."
"The Yankees threatened in the ninth. Cody Bellinger and Rice reached base before Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered a two-run double to cut the deficit to one. With the tying run on second, pinch hitter J.C. Escarra struck out to end the game."
The Yankees lost to the Marlins 7-6 after leading 4-3 into the eighth inning. A four-run eighth inning by the Marlins, aided by poor pitching from Cruz, Bird, and Yarbrough, sealed the Yankees' fate. Ben Rice's three-run home run in the first inning gave New York an early lead, but they struggled with runners in scoring position, finishing 2-for-12. In the ninth, the Yankees threatened with a two-run double from Chisholm Jr. but ultimately fell short. They will face the Tigers next.
