Yankees’ Devin Williams shows ‘what he’s capable of’ in huge 10th-inning escape

There has been plenty of external focus on Devin Williams’ level of comfort through the first month-plus of the season, his results lagging and his reception from the crowd in The Bronx often unfriendly.

There was no need for body-language experts Wednesday night.

There were several roars, the last screamed into his glove, to go with a confident strut into the home dugout after maybe his most electric outing of the season.

Williams — who has lost his closing role and has lost plenty of confidence from a fan base that might not have liked the sight of his running in for the 10th inning of a tie game — reminded of the type of overwhelming presence he can strike in the Yankees’ 4-3, 10-inning win over the Padres.

“That’s what he is,” manager Aaron Boone said after Williams faced the top of the San Diego order and survived, “and what he’s capable of.”

Called into a 3-3 game for the top of the 10th, after fill-in closer Luke Weaver already had recorded five outs, Williams was not perfect but he was unhittable.
