And if this keeps up, he might as well tattoo it on the Yankees&rsquo; dugout wall. Because if Monday night&rsquo;s collapse is anything to go by, this team is in for a long, exhausting season, one where even a three-run lead feels unsafe.<\/p><p>For all their flaws, a shaky rotation, an offense that can be streaky, the Yankees were at least supposed to <em>have<\/em> a bullpen. That&rsquo;s what made the Devin Williams signing feel like a coup in December. Now? It feels like a gamble that&rsquo;s imploding in real time.<\/p><p>Devin Williams, stripped of his closer duties just a week ago, found himself in another high-leverage spot on Monday night. The result? Complete chaos. And yet another meltdown. The 30-year-old gave up three earned runs in the eighth, turning a 3-0 lead into a 4-3 loss to the Padres at a rain-soaked Yankee Stadium. Two walks, a single, and just two outs later, Boone had seen enough. Williams exited with the bases loaded and boos raining down.<\/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\">FOUR-RUN INNING AND THE PADRES LEAD!!<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4CO6j1Zf18\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/4CO6j1Zf18<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Just Baseball (@JustBB_Media) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JustBB_Media\/status\/1919579408525914412?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 6, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>It didn&rsquo;t get better from there.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/devin-williams-opens-up-after-losing-yankees-closer-job-in-just-10-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Devin Williams Opens Up After Losing Yankees Closer Job in Just 10 Games<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Luke Weaver, previously spotless in 15 innings this season, promptly gave up back-to-back hits, a two-run double by Manny Machado and a two-run single from Xander Bogaerts, to flip the game completely.<\/p><p>And just like that, another wasted outing for Carlos Rodon.
