He extended his scoreless streak to 20 innings and retired 17 batters in a row before Jose Ramirez singled in the seventh inning. Devin Williams, who returned as a closer after Luke Weaver’s injury, allowed a run in the ninth inning, but managed to secure his sixth save in seven opportunities.In the fifth inning, DJ LeMahieu drove in a run with a single, while Chisholm Jr. scored the first run of the game for the Yankees.
In the third inning, Chisholm Jr., from third base, made an excellent throw to retire Angel Martinez. Tanner Bibee, for his part, threw a season-high 107 pitches, allowing three runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings. David Fry, who hit a home run in the tenth inning to win Game 3 of last year’s American League Championship Series, went 1-3 as the designated hitter in his first start after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his right elbow in November.
