Calling the game for the Yankees on YES, Michael Kay and Paul O\u2019Neill made that clear.<\/p>\n<p>Things started great for the Yankees, who opened up a 6-0 lead. And while the Marlins cut that to 6-4 in the sixth inning, the Yankees responded with three in the top of the seventh inning to go up 9-4. That\u2019s when things got really bad for New York. Jake Bird, making his debut with the Yankees, recorded only one out before allowing a grand slam to Kyle Stowers. At that point, Aaron Boone went to another new Yankee, David Bednar. Bednar had historically struggled in Miami\u2019s LoanDepot Park, something Kay noted. O\u2019Neill, though, suggested that maybe a change of uniform would fix the problem. One pitch later, he surrendered a game-tying home run.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Michael Kay and Paul O\u2019Neil on David Bednar at LoanDepot Park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has a 7.04 ERA in nine games and thrown right into the fire in now a nail-biting game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got a different uniform now, Mike.

The Yankees, though, tied the game when Anthony Volpe homered. After Bednar pitched a scoreless eighth inning, New York scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to take a 12-10 lead. It was then time for Camilo Doval, another new acquisition, to come on to close the game. It did not happen.<\/p>\n<p>While Doval retired the first hitter he faced, the next two men reached base with a single and a walk, respectively. Miami\u2019s Xavier Edwards then rapped a single to right field. While bad for the Yankees, it was not a complete disaster until Jos\u00e9 Caballero, also making his debut for the Yankees, let the ball go under his glove. Javier Sanoja and Jakob Marsee both scored to tie the game for the Marlins, while Edwards got to third base.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Neill and Kay could not sugarcoat what they saw.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael, you get to a point where you just can\u2019t make this up,\u201d O\u2019Neill said. \u201cI mean, the ball gets by, the base hits, the runners are running.
