David Bednar blows save in ninth as Yankees lose to Mets

NEW YORK – As David Bednar nears his one-year anniversary as the Yankees’ closer, he has built a reputation as a rubber-armed bulldog, never flinching from a heavy workload or difficult spot. But life on the edge comes with consequences, and one mistake can change everything.

One out from sealing a victory, a hanging curveball certainly qualifies.

Tyrone Taylor’s game-tying three-run homer handed Bednar his second blown save, and Carson Benge later knocked in the winning run as the Yankees fell to the Mets, 7-6, in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field.

“I’ve had a lot of success with that pitch. I trust my stuff,” Bednar said. “But overall, it’s unacceptable, especially in that spot. It’s just very frustrating.”

Bednar called the loss “a tough one to swallow.” It concluded what manager Aaron Boone described as “a terrible road trip” for the Yankees, who saw their bullpen stumble at times through a 2-7 showing in Milwaukee, Baltimore and now Queens.

The Yankees have not won a Subway Series in Flushing since 2018.

“There were a couple of close games, but it’s about finishing the job,” captain Aaron Judge said. “There were a couple of games here where we’ve got to close it out. The boys are playing hard, though. The guys are playing tough and making the plays they need to, but we’re just coming up a little bit short.”

In the 10th, the Yankees positioned a five-man infield behind Tim Hill with one out. Benge chopped a grounder that Anthony Volpe and Max Schuemann both lunged for, colliding behind the mound as Marcus Semien slid home with the deciding run.

“It’s kind of no-man’s land there,” Volpe said. “We’re just both trying to make a play and reacting. That’s do or die. That’s the game.”

“I was trying to be a little more aggressive with that [pitch to Taylor],” Bednar said. “It just didn’t end up where I wanted it to be.”

The late flip spoiled a standout performance from Volpe, who contributed two walks, two hits and three RBIs while filling in for José Caballero, who is expected to return soon from a fractured right middle finger.

Volpe worked seven walks in 13 plate appearances across the series.

“That’s the guy we know,” Judge said. “That’s why he’s been our shortstop for the past couple of seasons. I was definitely encouraged about what I saw today.”

Ben Rice cracked his 15th home run in the loss. Rice and Judge (16) are just the second pair of Yankees to hit 15 homers or more in the team’s first 47 games of a season; Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle (1956) and Mantle and Roger Maris (1961) are the others.

Volpe notched his first hit of the season with a second-inning double, then contributed a key knock to the Yankees’ four-run sixth. Two walks, a sacrifice bunt and a hit batter set up Volpe’s hit off Sean Manaea, chasing home Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr.

“I got some good pitches to hit and put some good swings on them,” Volpe said. “Just trying to do my job and contribute in any way I can.”

Amed Rosario lifted a sacrifice fly, and another run scored when Bo Bichette dropped a Trent Grisham popup for an error. Luis Torrens’ two-run pinch-hit double off Jake Bird trimmed the Yankees’ lead in the bottom of the sixth.

Elmer Rodríguez navigated 4 1/3 innings in his third Major League start, limiting the Mets to Semien’s fourth-inning RBI double.

“Overall, I thought he did his job and gave us a real opportunity to win a game,” Boone said.

Boone said Rodríguez is expected to remain in the rotation for one more turn before Gerrit Cole’s return.

However, Boone said the team would discuss adding a fresh bullpen arm before opening a four-game series against the Blue Jays on Monday – a rematch against the club that ended the Yankees’ 2025 season.

“Can’t wait to see them again,” Judge said. “It’s going to be a good matchup, but I think the boys are ready.”

Jamal Crawford hasn’t turned down a job with Kentucky Basketball just yet

The Kentucky Basketball team is still in the process of building its roster and coaching staff ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Apparently, the Wildcats are still pursuing NBA legend Jamal Crawford, per Jack Pilgrim and Jacob Polacheck, as the program still has an opening on the staff following former coach Alvin Brooks’ departure to NC State and Jason Hart leaving for USC.

Mark Pope offered Crawford a job as the Tyran Stokes recruitment was winding down. The Wildcats lost the Stokes sweepstakes, as he ultimately chose Kansas under Bill Self. The thought of landing Crawford on the staff seemed unlikely once Stokes made a decision. A

However, according to KSR, Crawford still has interest in joining Pope and the Wildcats.

The hesitation with Crawford is the timing of this specific job opening. Crawford would have to move his family across the country, as they currently reside in California. His son, JJ Crawford, the current ranked No. 1 recruit in the class of 2029 for basketball, is entering his peak years of high school basketball, as Crawford would have a tough decision to make for him and his family.

Crawford relayed to KSR that other schools have expressed interest in adding the former NBA All-Star to their staff, but the Kentucky job is the only one he’d consider taking.

If Crawford were to land a spot on Pope’s staff, that would be a huge turnaround, as Pope is coming off a rough second year at the helm. Crawford’s name and legacy alone would have many recruits wanting to come to Lexington, as the program has already added one former NBA standout in Mo Williams.

Something to monitor in the coming weeks.

Neymar enfurece tras ser sustituido por error arbitral antes de que se decida la lista mundialista

SAO PAULO (AP) — Un aparente error del cuarto árbitro obligó a Neymar a salir del campo durante la derrota el domingo en casa 3-0 de Santos ante Coritiba en la liga brasileña, la última oportunidad para que el astro impresionara antes de que se anuncie la convocatoria de Brasil para el Mundial.

El delantero de 34 años ha tenido dificultades para recuperar la forma desde que se rompió el ligamento cruzado anterior en octubre de 2023, pero durante más de un año ha intentado demostrarle al técnico de Brasil, Carlo Ancelotti, que merece un lugar en el plantel.

El incidente ocurrió a los 65 minutos, cuando Coritiba ya ganaba 3-0 y Neymar, estaba teniendo un partido discreto a pesar de que ha mejorado su forma en las últimas semanas con el Santos, que está en peligro de descender.

Neymar estaba en el campo mientras un médico le rociaba el gemelo derecho, pero el árbitro le indicó que fuera a la banda, donde continuó el tratamiento.

En cuestión de segundos, el cuarto árbitro levantó el tablero de sustituciones, que indicaba que el número 10 —Neymar— saldría para dar ingreso a Robinho Jr., quien de inmediato pisó el terreno de juego.

“Sabía que Robinho iba a entrar, pero ni siquiera lo estaba mirando”, comentó Neymar. “No sabía que me habían sustituido, no había visto el tablero. Fue un error muy grave de los árbitros, de la persona que pone los números en el tablero”.

El técnico de Santos, Cuca, y el propio Neymar informaron al cuarto árbitro y al árbitro Paulo Cesar Zanovelli que se había equivocado y que era el defensor Gonzalo Escobar —camiseta número 31—, quien debía ser sustituido.

Zanovelli le mostró tarjeta amarilla a Neymar por negarse a aceptar la sustitución. Luego, el delantero tomó la hoja oficial de solicitud de cambio y se la mostró a los medios en el Neo Quimica Arena donde figuraba el número de Escobar en lugar del suyo.

“Es un error (del cuarto árbitro), sin duda. Pero no fue la razón por la que perdimos; sería injusto echarle la culpa a esto”, manifestó el técnico de Santos, Cuca, en una conferencia de prensa.

La confederación brasileña de fútbol, que organiza la liga del país, aún no ha comentado públicamente sobre el incidente.

Ancelotti anunciará la convocatoria de Brasil el lunes en Rio de Janeiro.

Medios brasileños informaron que las posibilidades de que Neymar esté en la lista de 26 jugadores han aumentado recientemente porque su inclusión es respaldada por otros futbolistas que Ancelotti quiere llevar al Mundial.
