Yankees Game Tonight: Start Time, Streaming Options & Can Judge Break Another Record?

MIAMI — If you thought August would slow the New York Yankees’ roller-coaster season, Friday night at loanDepot park proved otherwise. In a 13-12 gut-punch walk-off loss to the Miami Marlins, the Yankees squandered a five-run cushion, coughed up six runs in the seventh, reclaimed a two-run lead in the ninth, then watched Xavier Edwards and Agustín Ramírez complete Miami’s comeback against newly acquired closer Camilo Doval. Key takeaways for Yankee fans and fantasy managers • Booming bats: Giancarlo Stanton launched a 116-mph three-run blast, Trent Grisham added a three-run shot of his own, and Anthony Volpe went 4-for-5 with a game-tying homer and two steals. New York’s lineup is mashing again after the deadline, ranking second in MLB in homers since July 1. • Bullpen concerns: The front office thought deadline pickups Jake Bird, David Bednar and Doval would solidify late innings, yet the trio combined to allow eight runs. Manager Aaron Boone admitted post-game the pecking order remains “fluid” as roles shake out. • Rodón’s mixed night: Carlos Rodón struck out nine and held Miami hitless through four, but five walks elevated his pitch count and forced an early hook. Control issues have led to a 4.38 ERA over his last five outings. Why this loss still matters in the AL East race The Orioles and Rays both won, trimming New York’s division lead to 1.5 games. The Bombers now sport a 60-50 record and begin August with the toughest remaining strength of schedule in the American League. Every game counts, and Boone’s club can’t afford bullpen meltdowns while chasing a first-round playoff bye.
