A clean eighth inning, in a 4-3 Yankees loss, offered Williams a moment of normalcy in a season that has been anything but simple. Upon conjuring a harmless pop-up to finish his scoreless frame, Williams strolled back to the bench alongside his teammates, not apart from them. A wave of high-fives and “atta boys” greeted him in the dugout.

As the Yankees try to get him right again following the loss of the closer job, Devin Williams made an appearance against the Orioles.
