In practice, it&rsquo;s been four appearances of chaos, and the Bronx is already boiling over.<\/p><p>On a bitterly cold Wednesday in Detroit, New York managed to avoid a sweep with a 4-3 win over the Tigers, but it came with unnecessary drama in the ninth. Starter Max Fried was dominant, striking out 11 over seven shutout innings, while Ben Rice smashed a two-run blast to give the Yankees a lead. The Yankees built a 4-0 lead heading into the final frame. And then came Williams.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Make that double digits for Fried <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WTexpimGxd\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/WTexpimGxd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TalkinYanks\/status\/1910045294667984938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Instead of calmly closing things out, the new closer nearly unraveled. Williams allowed two hits, two walks, and three runs, forcing manager Aaron Boone to call on Mark Leiter Jr. for the final out, with the tying run standing on second. A game that should&rsquo;ve ended quietly turned into yet another white-knuckle ride courtesy of a closer who, so far, hasn&rsquo;t delivered.<\/p><p>This wasn&rsquo;t an isolated stumble either. Williams has yet to complete a clean inning in a Yankees uniform. His debut saw him nearly blow the opener, allowing the tying run to reach third. Sunday, he surrendered a walk-off single to the Pirates in extras. And now, after coughing up three more runs in Detroit, he&rsquo;s sporting a 12.00 ERA, with five runs (four earned), five hits, and four walks allowed across just three innings.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Devin Williams said, \"I haven't felt like 100% myself up to this point,\" but he said he's fine physically.<br><br>Attributed struggles to needing game reps &amp; lack of execution.
