The Yankees displayed frustration as they approached a loss against the Astros. They managed a sixth-inning rally but fell to a 5-3 defeat, with Devin Williams notably struggling on the mound. Williams, recently criticized for his performance, allowed three runs, including a two-run homer from Taylor Trammell. The Yankees have lost six of their last seven games and currently hold a slim lead in the wild card standings despite their poor run in extra innings and overall performance.
Williams has allowed nine runs, seven hits (including three homers) and four walks in 42⁄3 innings in his last five games. He is 0-2 with two blown saves in that span and has given up at least one run in each outing.
It's tough. It's not something I'm used to. I really haven't struggled like this since probably 2018, coming back from [Tommy John surgery]. All I did then was continue to work and just try to try to help the team in any way I can.
Several struggles now in a row. So we just try and find softer landing spots. Harder to do that right now when you have a shorter outing by the starter, you're piecing it together and you got a guy down.
The Yankees (61-55) have lost six of their last seven. They are 3-8 in extra-inning games and 19-30 in their last 49 games.
