The New York Yankees didn\u2019t need fireworks to open their home weekend series\u2014they just needed Jazz Chisholm\u2019s swagger and Will Warren\u2019s composure.<\/p>\n
After smothering the Reds before Thursday\u2019s day off, the Yankees returned with recharged arms and just enough offense to edge the Athletics, 3\u20130.<\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s win gave them a chance to breathe, especially with the Rays falling to the Orioles.<\/p>\nCredit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Will Warren\u2019s Confidence Keeps Growing<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Will Warren looked like a pitcher who\u2019s starting to believe he belongs. The rookie right-hander worked five shutout innings, fanning seven A\u2019s.<\/p>\n
He allowed just two hits, dancing around four walks thanks to smart pitch sequencing and the occasional nasty sweeper.<\/p>\n
His ERA dipped to 4.37, and while command remains a work in progress, Warren delivered under pressure.<\/p>\n
Facing a good Athletics lineup, Warren didn\u2019t flinch when runners reached. His poise is growing\u2014and so is his value to a rotation missing consistent depth.<\/p>\n
Sometimes all it takes is one day off. After a brutal stretch of games, the Yankees\u2019 bullpen returned Friday looking like a different beast.<\/p>\n
Fernando Cruz, Tim Hill, Luke Weaver, and Devin Williams combined for four shutout innings, allowing just one hit and striking out four.<\/p>\n
The group didn\u2019t issue a single walk\u2014something that\u2019s been a nagging issue lately.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t flashy, but it was clinical. The A\u2019s never really threatened late, and the bullpen\u2019s sharp outing made sure of that.<\/p>\n
Jazz Chisholm Jr. Delivers the Spark<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Jazz Chisholm Jr. continues to be the pulse of the Yankees\u2019 offense, bringing energy and production in equal measure. He blasted a solo homer in the second inning, opening the scoring with authority.<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Though he finished just 1-for-4, that one swing gave the Yankees early momentum in a tight, low-scoring game. His OPS now sits at .814, and his blend of power and flair gives the lineup a unique edge.<\/p>\n
Chisholm might not always dominate the box score, but his presence has weight. He plays with the same electricity as someone flipping a switch in a dark room\u2014everything changes.<\/p>\nCredit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Timely Hits Prove Just Enough<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Yankees mustered only four hits all night but managed to make them count. Two of those came with runners in scoring position\u2014something that\u2019s felt like a rare commodity lately.<\/p>\n
Chisholm\u2019s homer gave them the lead, and two clutch knocks by Cody Bellinger and DJ LeMahieu added cushion. It wasn\u2019t pretty, but it was efficient\u2014and against a team like Oakland, that\u2019s all they needed.<\/p>\n
Still, the lack of consistent offense remains a concern. One game doesn\u2019t erase that, even if it ends in a shutout win.<\/p>\n
Marcus Stroman Gets the Ball Sunday<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Yankees are hoping Marcus Stroman can offer more answers than questions when he returns to the mound on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n

Marcus Stroman will start Sunday vs. A\u2019s, Aaron Boone said.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Bryan Hoch ?? (@BryanHoch) June 28, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Stroman, who\u2019s endured a nightmare season with an 11.57 ERA, will get the start despite a rough rehab stint. He was shelled for 10 hits and five runs over just 3.2 innings in Double-A Somerset earlier this week.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not exactly inspiring, but the Yankees are short on better options. Stroman has the track record\u2014he just hasn\u2019t found the rhythm.<\/p>\n
If he can give them five decent innings, it\u2019ll be a win. If not, New York may be forced to fast-track trade deadline reinforcements.<\/p>\n
A Win with Cautionary Notes<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Friday\u2019s victory pushed the Yankees to 47\u201334, offering a small cushion in the ultra-competitive AL East. But questions linger, especially about rotation depth and the infield.<\/p>\n
Still, the shutout win showcased what the team can look like when pitching and timely hitting align. With Will Warren stepping up and Jazz Chisholm producing at a high level, the Yankees have found bright spots amid recent inconsistency.<\/p>\n
