The New York Yankees narrowly avoided a series sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates, losing 5-4 in an 11-inning game. Early on, the Yankees took a lead, but Will Warren's poor performance allowed Pittsburgh to capitalize, leading to four runs in four innings. Although the Yankees rallied late to tie the game, their efforts were thwarted by a walk-off single from Tommy Pham. The game featured standout performances, including a solid outing by former Yank Andrew Heaney and a brief offensive surge from the Yankees.
Former Yankee Andrew Heaney was sharp for the Pirates, allowing just one run on five hits across seven innings, striking out 10 and silencing his former team.
Warren was tagged for four runs on six hits over four innings, striking out five, and failing to provide the length the rotation needs.
The offense finally showed life in the ninth, rallying for three runs all with two outs to tie the game.
Tommy Pham spoiled the comeback with a walk-off RBI single off Devin Williams in the 11th.
