Yankees get a walk‑off
The New York Yankees won on a walk‑off delivered by José Caballero, a late‑game finish that shows up across the night’s MLB highlight feeds. (x.com) Social clips from the same window also captured other early‑season pitching milestones and big plays that dominated yesterday’s baseball coverage. (x.com)
José Caballero ended New York’s 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels with a two-run hit in the ninth inning on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. (mlb.com) The Yankees trailed 4-3 when Jazz Chisholm Jr. reached on a dropped infield popup, Austin Wells walked, and Caballero drove a 1-2 slider from Jordan Romano into left-center. Wells scored the winning run on a play that stood after replay review. (espn.com) Aaron Judge gave New York an early lead with his seventh home run of the season, and Trent Grisham added a two-run single. Mike Trout put Los Angeles ahead in the fifth with a two-run homer, his fourth home run in three games. (espn.com) The finish capped another late swing in a series that had already turned on a blown ninth inning by Romano in the Angels’ 11-10 loss on Monday, April 13. New York improved to 10-8 after winning for only the second time in eight games. (espn.com) Caballero is not one of the Yankees’ marquee bats, which is part of why the play spread so quickly across the night’s baseball highlights. It was the second walk-off hit of his career, and both have come with New York, including one on September 23, 2025, against the Chicago White Sox. (mlb.com) The game also landed in the middle of a louder early-season Yankees story: Judge and Trout trading home runs in the Bronx while New York tries to steady itself after an 8-2 start gave way to a rougher stretch. Wednesday’s comeback came after the Angels had erased an early 3-0 deficit. (mlb.com) Los Angeles had played clean defense until the ninth, when shortstop Zach Neto and third baseman Oswald Peraza converged on Chisholm’s popup and let it fall. Neto said afterward that the shortstop has priority on that play and took responsibility for the mistake. (mlb.com) Aaron Boone said after the game that Gerrit Cole, returning from Tommy John surgery, is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start for Double-A Somerset on Friday, April 17. The Yankees close the four-game series Thursday afternoon with Max Fried listed as the starter. (espn.com)
