Devin Williams blown save after defensive miscue

Devin Williams

NYM Relief Pitcher #38

Player Stats

Devin Williams took his third blown save after being charged with two runs — one earned — in the ninth inning Sunday against the Red Sox.

Williams gave up a leadoff single, but he then got a routine double play ball with one out, only for Francisco Lindor to boot it and retire no one. Two walks followed, with the second forcing in a run. Jarren Duran then hit a little popup behind second that dropped in. It was a ball that the second baseman would have handled if the infield hadn’t been drawn in, and Carson Benge came up just a tad short of catching it while racing in from right. That tied the game before Masataka Yoshida lined into a double play to prevent further damage. It’s Williams’ second blown save in a week, but while he owns the walks, this was much more Lindor’s doing than his.

Devin Williams slammed the door on the Phillies on Thursday night, working a perfect ninth inning to preserve a three-run advantage.

Williams took over with a 4-1 advantage and tore right through the heart of the Phillies’ lineup, getting Bryce Harper on a ground ball to second base, Brandon Marsh on a line drive to left and Alec Bohm on strikes to end it. It has been a rough season overall for the Mets’ closer, sporting a 4.73 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and a 44/19 K/BB ratio over 32 innings while converting 14 of his first 17 save chances.

Devin Williams took his second blown save of the year after giving up two runs in the ninth Monday against the Braves.

It was mostly just job well done by the Braves. Ozzie Albies hit a double on a changeup low and out of the zone, and Matt Olsen followed by taking a 95-mph fastball up in the zone out the other way to left. The homer was the third allowed by Williams this season. He’ll certainly be down on Tuesday after throwing 52 pitches the last two days. Unless the Mets want to use Luke Weaver for a third straight day, Huascar Brazobán could close.

Devin Williams earned a save after allowing one run in two-thirds of an inning Sunday against the Braves.

Williams thought he had the day off with the Mets up 10-3 in the ninth, but aided by some shoddy defense, the Braves scored five runs off Huascar Brazobán. Williams came in with one out and the bases empty after a Drake Baldwin grand slam and struck out Ozzie Albies before giving up three straight hits. The second of those should have been the third out, but Jared Young and Williams got too deliberate trying to pull off a 3-1 groundout and Michael Harris II beat it out. Williams finally finished off the game by striking out Dominic Smith with the winning run on second. It’s Williams’ 13th save in 14 tries. He threw 22 pitches, but since he did have four days off coming into this one, he’ll probably be available on Monday.

Devin Williams earned his 12th save with a scoreless ninth against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Williams hasn’t had a ton of save chances — tonight’s was his first in 12 days and fourth in June — but he’s gone over two months with blowing one. Luis Urías singled but was the only Blue Jays to reach in the ninth tonight.

Devin Williams did his best Houdini impression in the ninth inning on Thursday, managing to escape with a two-run lead intact after allowing a run on two hits and a walk.

They haven’t all been easy for Williams this season, and this was no exception. After striking out Edmundo Sosa to start the inning, he issued a one-out walk to Bryson Stott. Williams then battled back to get J.T. Realmuto to bounce into a fielder’s choice before Gabriel Rincones Jr. reached on an infield single to bring the tying run to the plate. He then allowed an RBI single to Justin Crawford before finally retiring Kyle Schwarber on a line drive to right to end it. Williams has now made good on 11 of his first 12 save chances on the season despite a miserable 5.24 ERA.

Devin Williams allowed two hits and struck out two batters over an inning and a third to secure the save against the Braves on Friday.

Williams was called upon in a tense situation in the eighth inning with runners on second and third in a three run game with two outs. He gave up a hit to Eli White there – that nearly went down the line if not for a diving effort from third baseman Brett Baty – then retired Rowdy Tellez to end that threat. Afterwards, Mauricio Dubón knocked a single in the ninth after a 14-pitch battle, but struck out Michael Harris and Matt Olson to close this one out. He’s now converted eight of his last nine save opportunities after what started out as a very choppy season.

Devin Williams fanned two in a perfect ninth for his ninth save Thursday against the Cardinals.

There was no drama today in a one-run game. Williams was fortunate to face the bottom of the order and retired Jimmy Crooks, pinch-hitter Bryan Torres and Nathan Church in order. Williams still has a 5.32 ERA because of a pair of four-run outings, but he’s struck out 36 in 22 innings and has taken just one blown save.

Pitching with a five-run lead, Devin Williams allowed one run in the ninth before finishing off the Padres on Sunday.

Williams gave up a walk and a double with two outs before striking out Fernando Tatis Jr. to end things. The run is the first Williams has allowed in four appearances since his ugly May 24 outing against the Marlins, when he gave up a walkoff grand slam. He earned a save three days after that, but the Mets haven’t had any save chances in nine games since.

Devin Williams walked three and struck out three in a scoreless inning to earn the save against the Reds on Wednesday.

Williams did his best Houdini impression here, walking the first two batters he faced in a two-run game and eventually walking the bases loaded. Eventually, he struck out the other three batters he faced to secure the stressful save. After throwing 10 straight scoreless outings and only allowing two hits over that span, Williams coughed up a walk-off grand slam last time out and was shaky once again here. It looks like this could just be a Jekyll and Hyde type of season from the right-hander.

Devin Williams allowed four runs and took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday.

Williams started the ninth inning by allowing a double to Christopher Morel. After a sacrifice bunt and a walk, the Mets decided to intentionally walk Xavier Edwards to load the bases for Heriberto Hernández, who promptly hit a walk-off grand slam. It’s Williams’ second loss of the year and his ERA is now 6.35. Williams had a 1.83 ERA in six seasons with the Brewers before his drop-off in production with the Yankees and Mets over the last two years.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a tiebreaking homer in the bottom of the eighth as the Yankees edged the Dodgers 2-1 on Sunday Night Baseball.

The Yankees split the doubleheader after losing the early game 8-2. Chisholm’s homer off Evan Phillips was his 14th of the year. He was 2-for-7 in the doubleheader, and he’s hitting a steady .224/.302/.403 for the year. His OPS really hasn’t budged from that .690-.720 neighborhood for two months now, but one imagines he’ll be good for another hot streak at some point.

Ryan Yarbrough pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings Sunday night against the Dodgers in his first start of the season.

Yarbrough has been a swingman for most of his career, but the Yankees kept bypassing him, usually in favor of Elmer Rodríguez, when they’ve needed a spot starter this season. That finally changed tonight, and Rodríguez was the one bypassed, as the Yankees used Yarbrough, Paul Blackburn and Brent Headrick to get through seven innings, all of them scoreless. Yarbrough has a 3.86 ERA in 39 2/3 innings over 25 appearances.

David Bednar picked up a win after getting five outs in the eighth and ninth in the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Bednar relieved Fernando Cruz with two on in a tie game in the eighth and stranded both runners before Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead homer in the bottom of the inning. In the ninth, Bednar walked Freddie Freeman in a 10-pitch at-bat to start the frame, but he retired three in a row afterwards. It’s Bednar’s second win to go along with two saves this month. He was forced to throw 32 pitches, but since he had a week off coming into the night, perhaps he’ll be available again Monday.

Mookie Betts went 0-for-4 in the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Yankees and 0-for-7 with two walks on the day.

With the tying run on first in a 2-1 game in the ninth, Betts struck out on three pitches against David Bednar. He’s gone hitless in four straight games, dropping his OPS to .689. Future first-ballot Hall of Famer or not, Betts shouldn’t be batting cleanup for the Dodgers at this point. He had a nice second half of June, but aside from that 17-game run, he’s been pretty awful in the batter’s box.

Nolan Arenado hit a two-run homer in the eighth as the Diamondbacks came back from a 7-0 deficit to top the Cardinals 8-7 in 10 innings on Sunday.

The D-backs scored three times in the sixth and twice in the seventh before Arenado’s homer tied the game in the eighth. They went on to win on a Max Kepler’s single in the bottom of the 10th. Arenado has four extra-base hits and six RBI in his six games against his previous organization this year. The homer was his 13th in 93 games, overtaking his total of 12 in his 107 games with St. Louis last year.

Eduardo Rodriguez lasted just 2 2/3 innings and gave up five runs Sunday against the Cardinals.

This seems long overdue for Rodriguez, who just went to his first All-Star game in spite of a career-worst 17 percent strikeout rate. He allowed seven hits, walked two and struck out three today. It’s the first time in 20 starts this year that he’s allowed more than four runs. However, since the D-backs pulled off a big comeback, he remained 8-3. He’ll face the Nationals next weekend.

Andre Pallante surrendered three runs in 5 1/3 innings Sunday in a no-decision against the D-backs.

Pallante had a 7-0 lead after five, but he retired just one of the six batters he faced in the sixth, giving up three hits and then two walks. Ryne Stanek replaced him with two runs in and the bases loaded and managed to strand two of the three runners. However, the Cardinals went on to blow the remainder of the 7-3 lead anyway. Pallante has given up nine runs in his last two starts to push his ERA back up to 4.02. It’s the first time he’s been over 4.00 since the end of May. He’ll face the Reds next weekend.

The homer, which came on an 88-mph liner to left, was initially called a single and an error on José Fermin but was changed afterwards, as Fermin never touched the ball as it was skipping past him. It’s the only hit that Perdomo has collected in his last five games.

Blaze Jordan went 3-for-5 with a triple and three RBI against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Ryan Waldschmidt just missed making a diving catch on the triple to left center. It goes as Jordan’s second three-hit game since his callup last month. With José Fermin mostly taking over at third, Jordan had been out of the Cardinals’ lineup the previous three games. He might wind up back in Triple-A if the team continues to struggle to find regular playing time for him, but this will help.
