With lefty Brent Headrick replacing Warren, Cora turned to Romy Gonzalez and Rob Refsnyder, two of the best pinch-hitters on the roster, to bat in place of Mayer and David Hamilton. Gonzalez quickly plated two runs with a single, but Trevor Story and Refsnyder followed with a pair of foul-tip strikeouts to leave two men in scoring position.

In their first meeting of the 2025 MLB season, the New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox, 9-6. The Yankees jumped on Red Sox starter Walker Buehler, roaring out to a 7-0 lead by the second inning.

The last time Walker Buehler was on the mound at Yankee Stadium prior to Friday night, he watched as Alex Verdugo swung through a knuckle curveball. That swing-and-miss clinched the World Series for Buehler’s Los Angeles Dodgers.
