The former All-Star pitched a clean eighth inning Friday night in the Bronx, striking out one in a perfect frame during New York’s 3-0 win. It was his second scoreless outing since being demoted from the closer role last week, and his sharpest yet.

Devin Williams, after being pulled from the closer’s role last week, tossed a pair of scoreless innings in his next two appearances.

The Yankees have pulled the plug Devin Williams closing games for them one month into his first season with the team, which Deesha Thosar believes is a good as he holds an 11.25 ERA through 10 appearances.
