May 28, 2025 3:06 AM : Williams picked up the save Tuesday in a 3-2 win over the Angels, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks over one inning. He did not record a strikeout.
Analysis: The right-hander was removed from the closer role due to early-season struggles but was called on to pitch the ninth inning, with Luke Weaver likely unavailable after working the previous two days. Williams saw his streak of eight consecutive scoreless appearances snapped by a Yoan Moncada solo homer and Jo Adell RBI, but Williams narrowly escaped with the save. The former Brewer didn't issue a walk against the Angels but has posted a career-worst 5.40 BB/9 through his first 23 appearances and 20 innings as a Yankee, contributing to a disappointing 6.75 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. While Williams filled in as closer, it's unlikely he reclaims the full-time role anytime soon, with Weaver sporting a 0.73 ERA.
