Brought in with a two-run lead, Williams gave up a single, hit a batter on a 2-2 pitch and then surrendered a two-run double. The Yankees quickly ushered him out at that point, and the runner later came around to score. Williams also gave up three runs last time out. That technically wasn’t a blown save, though it might as well have been. We imagine this outing will earn him a hopefully brief respite from closing duties, with Luke Weaver taking over for now and Fernando Cruz probably second in line. Dropping Williams in fantasy leagues seems like the wrong call, but it’s probably fine to bench him where applicable. Weaver should be picked up everywhere.

Williams entered in the ninth to finish out the game with a four-run lead, a non-save situation. The 30-year-old right-hander imploded, giving up four runs on four hits and a walk to blow the lead. Williams had been pitching better of late, but his early season struggles have led to a 9.00 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, and an 8/7 K/BB ratio across eight frames.

Williams needed just six pitches tonight. The Rays actually put three of his four changeups into play, but they turned into a fairly well-hit groundout, a popup and a weak liner to third. Williams has retired six in a row in his last two outings after struggling some over the first two weeks.

Williams made it look easy in this one, getting Michael Massey on a fly ball to right, Hunter Renfroe on a bouncer back to the mound and MJ Melendez on a swinging third strike to end it. The 30-year-old stopper has now made good on each of his first three save chances on the season despite an inflated 6.00 ERA and 2.17 WHIP through his first six innings.
