Starting the ninth inning with a two-run lead, Williams got Guardians pinch-hitter Kyle Manzardo to fly to left before Carlos Santana doubled to left-center. He then struck out Gabriel Arias before Daniel Schneemann bounced a single through the right side of the infield. That scored Santana, cutting the Yankees’ lead to 3-2.

Luke Weaver's hamstring injury has created another opportunity for Devin Williams to resume closing the majority of Yankees' games.

Devin Williams didn’t enjoy the smoothest return to the closer’s role on Tuesday night, but he did get the job done in the Yankees’ narrow 3-2 win over the Guardians at Yankee Stadium.
