Dylan Case was having a remarkable night on the mound, going seven innings without allowing any hits.
However, he had to leave before finishing the inning, putting an end to his pursuit of history—and it was evident he was dealing with some injuries.
The Padres ace had been flawless against the Yankees until Cody Bellinger broke through after 6 and 1/3 innings on Wednesday night.
Details about what led to the issues are somewhat fuzzy. As the Yankees approached the seventh inning, Jackson Dominguez and Oswald Cabrera seemed to be interfering with catcher Yorvit Vivas.
Prior to Bellinger’s home run, the closest the Yankees came to a hit was a flyball by Austin Wells, which nearly cleared the right field wall; Fernando Tatis Jr. made an impressive leap to snag it in the fourth inning.
Max Fried also turned in a solid performance, giving up just one run on five hits over seven innings.
