Yankees bullpen woes intensify as Camilo Doval falters in extra innings

Camilo Doval allowed four runs (two earned) in the 11th inning against Detroit, throwing 21 pitches with only ten strikes, walking three batters and taking the loss in a 6‑2 defeat that extended the New York Yankees' losing streak to seven games. The outing highlighted the reliever's season struggles: a 4.96 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 32 strikeouts, ten walks and three blown saves in 37 appearances, coupled with a low strand rate of 58.8%, well below league average.

Despite Doval's issues, the Yankees' overall bullpen remains strong, posting a 3.19 ERA that ranks first in the American League. Manager Aaron Boone has continued to rely on Doval in high‑leverage situations, but the recent performance has sparked discussion about the team's approach to the upcoming trade deadline and the need for more reliable late‑inning options.
