McMahon's Walk-Off Single Lifts Yankees Over Rays

The New York Yankees secured a dramatic 5-4 extra-innings win over the Tampa Bay Rays, with newcomer Ryan McMahon's walk-off single in the 11th inning scoring Jazz Chisholm Jr. The Yankees overcame being shut out for seven innings, multiple blown leads, and a key baserunning mistake by Austin Wells. Late home runs from Trent Grisham and Anthony Volpe, plus Cody Bellinger's game-tying triple in the 10th, were crucial. Starter Will Warren allowed just one run over six innings, while closer Devin Williams suffered a rare blown save in the ninth. McMahon, acquired days prior, continued his hot start and became the fifth Yankee in the past decade to reach base 10 times in his first five games. The victory keeps the Yankees in second place in the AL East, four games behind the Blue Jays, with bullpen upgrades still a trade deadline focus.
