Devin Williams avoids latest disaster by navigating ‘heart’ of Blue Jays order in huge Yankees spot
NY Post
Devin Williams entered in the top of the eighth inning, looking to keep the Yankees up in a one-run game against one of the most dangerous parts of Toronto’s deep lineup.
And he threw his first pitch to pinch hitter Addison Barger to the backstop.
But instead of another disaster from the right-hander after his latest implosion in Houston on Wednesday, Williams provided a huge scoreless inning in a 4-3 win over the Blue Jays that brought the Yankees back to within two games of first place.
It wasn’t easy, as Barger singled and then stole second with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at the plate.
Guerrero, always a tough out, has been especially hot lately.
He entered with 10 hits in his previous four games and added two more earlier Sunday, but Williams got him swinging with a 3-2 changeup for the first out.
