The New York Yankees achieved a thrilling walkoff victory against the San Diego Padres, with J.C. Escarra hitting a decisive sacrifice fly in the tenth inning. After a challenging game highlighted by two game-tying homers from Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham, the Yankees found themselves in a tight spot but managed to overcome it. Reliever Devin Williams notably struck out three key hitters to keep the game tied, setting the stage for Escarra's winning play. Starter Max Fried continued his strong season with an impressive outing, adding to the team's satisfaction.
In the defining moment of his young Yankee tenure, the right-hander was overcome with emotion after striking out the lethal trio of Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and finally Xander Bogaerts to punctuate the spotless frame.
Thatâs as tough a spot as youâre going to be in, noted Yankee manager Aaron Boone after the game. Ghost runner, top of the order, and whatâs gone on here in the first month-plus.
The Yankees needed just three hits to secure the win, with two of them being game-tying homers from Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham in the seventh and eighth innings, respectively.
Yankees starter Max Fried, who entered Wednesday's contest with an American League-leading 1.01 ERA through his first seven starts, turned in yet another gem.
