Bullpen can’t hold lead, Yankees fall to Marlins
Pinstripe Alley • • sports
Key Points:
- Max Fried's ERA rose after allowing runs early in the rain-delayed series finale against the Marlins, marking only his second loss of the year as the Yankees fell 7-6.
- Fried struggled with control, often falling behind in counts by throwing fastballs for balls, which allowed Marlins hitters to capitalize despite his mix of pitches.
- The Yankees' bullpen faltered late, giving up the lead in the eighth inning, while the offense provided early runs but lacked depth beyond key players like Judge, Rice, and Stanton.
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. ended his slump with a crucial two-run double late in the game, but the Yankees could not complete a comeback as the Marlins held on for the win.
- The Yankees aim to rebound in their upcoming series against the Athletics, with Cam Schlittler scheduled to pitch Tuesday night.
