Yankees Suffer Third Straight Loss to Padres, 4-3

The New York Yankees squandered a late 3-0 lead in a rain-soaked game against the San Diego Padres, ultimately losing 4-3 after bullpen struggles in the eighth inning. Devin Williams, who had recently lost his closer role due to poor performance, was called in and allowed three runs on two walks and a hit, loading the bases before being replaced by Luke Weaver. Weaver, previously reliable in relief, then gave up a two-run double to Manny Machado and a two-run single to Xander Bogaerts, allowing the Padres to take the lead. While three of the four runs in the inning were charged to Williams, Weaver was tagged with the loss and his first earned run of the season. The blown save overshadowed a strong start from Carlos Rodón, who pitched 6.2 shutout innings with only three hits and one walk allowed. The Yankees' bullpen issues continue to be a concern, particularly as Williams' struggles persist despite a brief period of improvement after his demotion.
