Xavier Edwards delivered a pivotal two-run single to tie the game in the ninth, then scored the winning run on Agustín Ramírez’s infield chopper, beating the tag at home. Ramírez, who had two hits, also contributed a go-ahead RBI single earlier in the game. The Yankees’ bullpen struggled, with new reliever Camilo Doval (4-3) taking the loss, while Anthony Volpe had a strong night, going 4-for-5 with a home run and a run-scoring double.
New York built an early lead thanks to three-run homers by Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham. However, the Marlins rallied with a grand slam from Kyle Stowers off Yankees reliever Jake Bird, and Javier Sanoja added a solo shot off David Bednar. Jasson Domínguez contributed three hits for the Yankees, while Carlos Rodón struck out nine but exited in the fifth after five walks and four runs allowed.
Looking ahead, the series continues with Cam Schlittler (1-1, 4.91 ERA) scheduled to start for the Yankees and Eury Pérez (3-3, 3.07 ERA) set to take the mound for the Marlins. Both teams are closely matched, as reflected by ESPN Analytics’ matchup predictor.
