YES Network team cannot believe how Yankees collapsed against Marlins: ‘Like a Little League game'
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free The trade deadline isn't providing instant gratification for the Yankees. The YES Network broadcast crew watched in disbelief as the Bombers surrendered 6-0, 9-4 and 12-10 leads on Friday to the Marlins. Miami pulled off a nearly improbable three-run ninth-inning rally to give the Yankees a 13-12 defeat. Advertisement As Marlins infielder Xavier Edwards tied the score in the ninth with a hit, assisted by an error in right field from new Yankee José Caballero, the YES broadcast of Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill voiced their shock.

Getty Images 'Michael, you get to a point where you just can't make this up … it's like a Little League game going on out here,' O'Neill said. Advertisement 'This whole game, Paul, kind of has the feel of you're having a bad dream and you cannot wake up,' Kay replied. The game was especially rough for many of the new acquisitions that the Yankees added leading up to the deadline. Reliever Camilo Doval blew the save and was tagged with the loss in the bottom of the ninth. Advertisement Jake Bird only recorded one out and allowed four earned runs. Jose Caballero made a key error in Friday's loss. David Bednar allowed two earned runs. And Caballero's blunder was effectively the nail in the coffin, as the Marlins won on an infield dribbler moments later.

Blake Perkins homers twice as Brewers get 25 hits in 16-9 win over Nationals
WASHINGTON — Blake Perkins hit his first two home runs of the season and drove in three runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals 16-9 on Friday night. William Contreras homered as part of a five-hit night and Andrew Vaughn went deep for the sixth time in 17 games with Milwaukee, which finished with a season-high 25 hits. All nine offensive starters had at least one hit and one run for the Brewers, who have won 16 of 20. Paul DeJong homered in the third inning for Washington, which is a season high-tying 21 games under .500. The Nationals trailed 16-4 before a five-run ninth. Perkins hit a solo home run in the second and a two-run shot in the fifth off Nationals starter Mitchell Parker (7-11). The outfielder missed the Brewers' first 96 games with a fractured right shin and made only his seventh start of the season as Milwaukee placed center fielder Jackson Chourio on the injured list with a right hamstring strain. Milwaukee went ahead when it opened the third with four consecutive singles, and Danny Jansen's sacrifice fly made it 3-1. Two batters later, Andruw Monasterio had a two-run double, then came around on Joey Ortiz's RBI double. Parker allowed eight runs and 12 hits in four-plus innings. He is 0-2 with a 15.58 ERA in two starts against Milwaukee this season. Brewers starter José Quintana (8-4) allowed two runs and struck out four in five innings. Monasterio's two-out, two-run double in the third allowed Milwaukee to erupt for a big inning early. The 25 hits were tied for the third most in Brewers history. It was the team's most in a game since a 26-hit effort on Aug. 2, 2010, at the Chicago Cubs. Brewers RHP Brandon Woodruff (2-0, 2.01 ERA) starts against Nationals RHP Jake Irvin (8-5, 4.69) on Saturday. ___ AP MLB:

Yankees, and their new bullpen acquisitions, implode against Marlins in wild game
One day after the trade deadline, the three newest additions to the New York Yankees' bullpen collapsed in a stunning 13-12 loss to the Miami Marlins. Jake Bird, David Bednar and Camilo Doval combined to allow nine runs in 2 1/3 innings in what was arguably the Yankees' worst loss of the season. 'Not how you draw it up, but those guys are really good at what they do,' manager Aaron Boone said of his new relievers. 'It's not the first time they've had a rough one, and I fully expect them to bounce back.' It was the Yankees' first nine-inning loss while scoring 12 or more runs since Aug. 12, 1973, against Oakland, according to Katie Sharp of Baseball Reference. MARLINS WIN IT AS THE YANKEES IMPLODE — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) August 2, 2025 Bird, acquired from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for second baseman Roc Riggio and pitcher Ben Shields, gave up four runs and three hits in 1/3 of an inning before Bednar, traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates for three prospects, gave up two runs and four hits and was saddled with his first blown save of the season. And Doval, acquired by New York at the buzzer for four prospects, ended his night with three runs and two hits, as well as a blown save. Advertisement Boone said he used all three new pitchers so he could rest relievers who had been taxed lately. 'We were going to stay away from (Luke Weaver), (Devin) Williams and (Tim) Hill tonight, with as much as we've used them of late,' he said. 'Set up in a good spot to get through there, and obviously just struggled tonight.' The Yankees' three new bullpen acquisitions: Bird, Bednar, and Doval combine to allow 9 earned runs in just 2.1 innings. The team blew leads of 6-0, 9-4, and 12-10, ultimately losing to the Marlins 13-12. — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) August 2, 2025 Meanwhile, other big-name relievers who were traded ahead of Thursday's deadline fared better in their first outings with their new teams. Jhoan Duran, who was traded from the Minnesota Twins to the Philadelphia Phillies for a package that included two top-100 prospects, earned a four-pitch save in his first appearance at Citizens Bank Park. Flamethrower Mason Miller, whom the San Diego Padres acquired from the Athletics for a package that included top prospect Leo De Vries, touched 103 mph in his first strikeout for the Friars. Following Friday's loss, the Yankees are 60-50, sitting 3.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the lead in the American League East, and maintain possession of the first AL wild-card spot.
