New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Rays

Williams blows 4-run lead in 9th, Rays beat Yankees 10-8 on Aranda's 2-run homer in 10th

Williams, an All-Star closer acquired from Milwaukee during the offseason, has a 9.00 ERA and has allowed runs in four of nine appearances. He has walked seven in eight innings.

Given an 8-4 lead, Williams allowed José Caballero's one-out single on a chopper as third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera made a high throw, then walked No 9 batter Ben Rortvedt. Chandler Simpson hit an RBI double to left for his first big league hit, Yandy Díaz hit a run-scoring infield single and Lowe singled to left.

After New York wasted runners at the corners with no outs in the 10th against Edwin Uceta (1-1), Arenda led off the bottom half against Yoendrys Gómez with his fourth homer, stopping the Rays' four-game losing streak.

New York went 6 for 15 with runners in scoring position.

On a foul popup that ended the Yankees' fifth, Aranda collided with catcher Ben Rortvedt and was on the grass with training staff before walking off on his own power.

Aaron Judge had three hits and three RBI, and Trent Grisham homered for the Yankees.

Yankees designated hitter Ben Rice left with a bruised left elbow after getting hit by an 88.2 mph slider from Manuel Rodríguez in the fourth inning. X-rays were negative.

Rays starter Shane Baz allowed five runs, his most since July 10, 2022, in 3 1/3 innings. Yankees starter Carlos Carrasco threw just 35 of 78 pitches for strikes and gave up four runs in four innings.

Key moment With the bases loaded and no out in the first, Paul Goldschmidt grounded sharply to shortstop José Caballero, who started a double play by throwing the ball between his legs to force Austin Wells at second.

Key stat Simpson was 1 for 5 in his major league debut.

Up next Yankees LHP Max Fried (3-0, 1.88 ERA) and Rays RHP Ryan Pepiot (1-2, 4.91) start Sunday's series finale.
