First Inning


The game began with promise for the Yankees as they took an early lead with one run in the first inning. However, this was quickly overshadowed by Miami's response in the second inning where they scored three runs. The Yanks struggled to regain momentum as their bats went silent through several innings.


Fourth Inning


By the fourth inning, things took another turn for New York when Miami added three more runs to their tally. The Yankees' starting pitcher Luis Gil had difficulty containing Miami's offense and ended his stint with an ERA of 13.5 and WHIP of 2.7.


Seventh Inning


A glimmer of hope appeared for New York in the seventh inning when they managed to score two runs thanks to contributions from Jazz Chisholm Jr., who hit his first home run of this matchup and brought in two RBIs overall during this period.


Final Innings


Despite these efforts, it wasn't enough as Miami sealed their victory with an additional run scored in their half of the seventh inning. The Yanks’ bullpen showed some resilience; Brent Headrick delivered solid relief pitching with an ERA of 3.375 and WHIP of 0.75 but could not completely stifle Miami’s lineup.


In post-game reflections on what went wrong for Yankees, Coach Aaron Boone noted that while there were bright spots such as Chisholm Jr.'s performance and Headrick’s pitching from relief positions – consistency across innings remained elusive throughout much-needed stretches within games like these against competitive teams like Marlins.
