Devin Williams Secures First Save for Yankees in Shaky Debut

News summary

Devin Williams, making his debut as the closer for the New York Yankees, faced a tense situation on Opening Day against his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite loading the bases with no outs, Williams managed to secure his first save by striking out two batters after allowing a sacrifice fly, ultimately preserving a 4-2 victory. The 30-year-old right-hander, who was traded from the Brewers, found the experience surreal, noting the familiarity of his old teammates during the pregame ceremonies. Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised Williams for maintaining composure under pressure. The game marked a significant moment for Williams, who had advocated for the lifting of the Yankees' long-standing beard ban, allowing him to sport his signature look. After throwing 36 pitches, Williams' availability for the next game remains uncertain due to the heavy workload.
