Former All-Star closer AJ Ramos offered a clear message for Williams: change your approach and regain your confidence. “You gotta go in there and give them your best stuff and say, ‘Whatever happens, happens, but I am giving you my best stuff,’” Ramos explained on MLB Network Radio.

With the Yankees leading, 2-1, Williams surrendered a leadoff hit to George Springer, then hit Andres Gimenez in the thigh with a fastball. The next batter, Alejandro Kirk, hammered a double over the head of Trent Grishman ( (to where??)) that scored both runners. That brought an end to Williams’ outing as he was replaced by Mark Leiter Jr.

It's been a rough opening month in pinstripes for Yankees closer Devin Williams. His latest ninth inning struggles, in Friday's blown save vs. Toronto, pushed his ERA to 11.25 in 10 appearances.
