MLB World Can't Believe The Yankees' Bullpen Blew It Again in Fifth Straight Loss

The New York Yankees' bullpen has let them down for a second night in a row against the Texas Rangers.

Tied 0-0 in the bottom of the eighth at Globe Life Field, reliever Devin Williams took the mound for New York and allowed two runs on two hits and two walks to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead. He did not make it out of the inning, and Texas ultimately held on to hand the Yankees their fifth loss in a row.

Tuesday marks the second straight night that Williams, who's struggled mightily throughout his first season in pinstripes, let the Rangers back in it down the stretch. On Monday night, he let up a game-tying home run to Joc Pederson before Texas came away with an extra-innings win.

Fans, media, and former players alike couldn't believe that New York—who extended themselves to add talent at the deadline—blew it again. Here's a look at some of the best reactions across X (formerly Twitter):

I highly recommend to all Yankees fans that you join me in rooting against them every game until Boone is fired. Way more fun this way. They suck!

If you or a loved one spent 2.5-3 hours a night watching the summer 2025 New York Yankees, you may be entitled to financial compensation

Boone bringing Devin Williams back out tonight is a legitimate attempt to get fired.

He wants out.

It's amazing to me that Yankees fans are trying to figure out why Boone left Williams in. Do you not know by now every single decision is based on analytics, computers and the useless date department. Boone just follows the printouts. There is no such thing as using feel.

The New York Yankees have lost every single game since the trade deadline.

0-5

Swept by the Marlins. Lost first 2 to the Rangers.

They are now 6 games out of the AL East and have the final Wild Card spot by just 0.5 games

The Yankees will look to buck their losing streak on Wednesday afternoon as they wrap up their series against the Rangers. First pitch is scheduled for 2:35 p.m. EST.
