Despite earlier votes of confidence from manager Aaron Boone and pitching coach Matt Blake, the Yankees now face mounting pressure to reconsider Williams' role. Boone, when asked if a change was imminent, responded, “We’ll see,” indicating that all options are being considered.

The New York Yankees acquired Devin Williams specifically for games like their Friday night contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. Clinging to a 2-1 lead going into the ninth inning, fans smelled victory as Williams took the mound.

Handed a 2-1 lead, Williams allowed George Springer a leadoff single, then promptly hit Andres Gimenez with a fastball in the knee. With runners on first and second, Williams surrendered a massive two-run double over Trent Grisham’s head in center.
