Yankees Edge Victory in Extra Innings Amid Shocking Blunder by Catcher Austin Wells—What Really Went Down?
After a mortifying end to the 2024 World Series, the Yankees have built up a reputation for errors on defense and the basepaths. That’s how the Los Angeles Dodgers described them and it’s now how many of their own fans see them (even if advanced stats point to them actually being decent on defense this season).

Aside from the Wells mistake, the Yankees committed two more errors on defense Wednesday, one of them being shortstop Anthony Volpe’s MLB-worst 16th error of the season. Volpe at least made up for it with a game-tying homer in the ninth inning, right before Wells came to bat.
