Rays vs. Yankees Game Highlights (7/29/25) | MLB Highlights

For the Yankees, it’s Max Freed. And what a matchup for Freed. He seems like he owns the Rays this year. Yeah, tremendous success earlier in the year. He has been very good, not only against the Rays, but as a stopper for the Yankees after Yankee losses, has come up big this year. He pitches well at Yankee Stadium. Ground ball that’s going to go through the right side and a base hit to start this game for Yandi Diaz. Jonathan Renda, first baseman. He’s thing. Ground ball up the middle. Pulpy. A bad flip to Chisum and everybody’s safe and he’s hearing it from the crowd. That’s got to be an error. Well, yeah. I mean, he’s there in plenty of time. Fields it well. He’s got a decision there to make. Split second. Do I try to cut down the runner there? Had plenty of time to do it. Just made the bad flip. Also had to play at first as as a backup. That’s Bulpy’s 14th era of the year. Two on and nobody out. And a good hitter here in Junior Camra coming up. Highf fly ball left field. Dominguez back on the run on the track. Makes the play. Tagging is Diaz. He’ll go to third and tagging Aronda will go to second. Second, third, and one out for Christopher Morel. That’s swinging a miss. He got him. What after me again up top with the four seamer at 96. Two down. So now it’s second and third with two men out. And it’ll take something from Johnny Duca. Right-handed batter. Line drive right center field that gets into the alley. Base hit. It spreads out the birds and rolls all the way to the wall. Two-run score. Diaz and Aronda are in. Here goes Duca heading for third. He’s sliding in with a two-run triple. And the Rays have scored more in six batters than they have ever against Max Breed career. It’s two nothing Rays in the first. Oh, two swing and a miss. Pulling big time with a big sweeping breaking ball. Damage done though. A couple of runs. It’s two nothing Tampa Bay as we go bottom of the first. Joe Bole on the hill for Tampa Bay tonight. And he’s put up really good numbers for the race this year. 1 and0 with a 142 erra, but hasn’t gone more than five innings at the big league level. Rays just want him to get started on a high note and continue pumping the strike zone. Big 68 right-hander pausing and now throwing lifted in the air towards shallow left. Commonro is calling off Morell. It’s Junior Camro, the third baseman to backpedal and catch it and end the inning for the Yanks. That’s outside. ball forward. Another base runner and a dangerous one here. Free can’t believe he didn’t get that call. So here’s newly acquired Nick Forez looped to the shortstop bulbe and he dropped the ball on purpose and then throws the second with the second base umpire. Woodson said no he’s out. Good try to get Cabayro off the bases if he can but not going to work this time. Runner at first and somebody in scoring position two down and back to the top of the order. Yandandy Diaz going on bouncing ball to Vi. Two hops, throws to Jazz for one and that’s the out they needed and that will do it. Chisum Jr. leading off. Boil throwing one and two swing and a miss and a breaking ball down. Another slider. A steady diet of hard sliders from Boille strikes out Jazz Chisum and that’s the first strike out of the night. Drew Bole the one out double facing Dominguez. And that’s his 16th double of the season. Dominguez now six for his last 15. Two and two to McMahon. One out. Boil throws. Swing and a Messi struck him out. Followed the splitter with the slider. It goes down and in. McMahon fans for out number two. Boil in the one-two. He blows him away. Swung on and missed it. 99. And boy, the fans are really letting Vulpi hear it lately here in the Bronx. Been a different guy his last 10 starts than he was the first 11 when the Rays saw him twice and he shut him out. Jonathan Aronda steps in. First pitch left on left. Swung on and hit high in the air and deep to right field. Back in the ball. Bellinger to the wall. Gone. Lefty on lefty. Jonathan Aronda sends one into the right center field seats. The Rays add to their lead. It is now 3 nothing. Awaiting a one-two from Freed. Here comes Max in the wind and the pitch. Breaking ball swing on and foul tip held by Wells. That’s a strike out second. Make that the third of the evening for Max Freed. 02 and he tripled up. Swinging a miss. He was way out in front. Strike out for Freed on three curve balls. That’s backto back strikeouts. Two outs here in the Yankees home third. Here’s Cody Bellinger. He now represents the tie. Intercept at the corner. Driven out to right field and deep low back. Tony lookinga a big three-run home run for Bellinger. And the Yankees have tied the game. And how great has this guy been? Where would this team be without Cody Bellinger? Three balls, two strikes. Still 50/50 ball strikes. And the next pitch called strike three. Chisum doesn’t like it. He’s down on strikes. And boy gets his 6K so far from Max. Four strikeouts, a walk and he gave up a line drive home run off the bat of Aronda to lead off the third. Two- two from Max. Swing and a miss. And Wells holds on. Another K. Struck out three of the last four batters now. That’s pretty good. That’s five strikeouts from Max Freed as we play here in the fourth. Swing on and sent to right center field. Easy play. Who’s going to take it? It’s going to be Bellinger and right center field. And that’ll do it. Nicely done by Max Freedas. He’s retired the last six men that he’s faced. Jason Dominguez to lead it off in the fourth inning for the eight. And a base hit for Dominguez. He’ll hit him where the ain’t on the infield comes in for Vulpi with a runner on third and one man out. Three-3 game. That one is looped into center field. It’s going to be in there for a base hit. Scoring is Dominguez. Vulpi picks up an RBI single and the Yankees lead four to three. That’s how you get those boos to cheers. It doesn’t take much. People that come here, they’re waiting to cheer. Bulby holds it first. This pitch hit hard right at the off the glove at the second base cabier. Boy, nonchalant at that one. He should have eaten that alive. And the Yakers will take that break. It was a low screamer about just below the knee and he should have made that catch. Well, that’s going to be it for Boil. Pitching change coming. 4-3 New York. First and second, one man out. 4-3 Yankees. Bottom four. Runners go. The throw to third. It goes into left field. Ky will get up and he will score. L stays at second and the Yankees now lead five to three. Now Vulpi going to steal third. Forced the air. Manufactures a run with his legs. The pitch to Gisham coming. Ground ball hits toward first. Two hopper snared on the backand by Diaz. Flips underhand to Montgomery covering. Two outs and an opportunity for two out RBI. Phil Smith has popped out second and struck out. Line drive. It’s a base hit to left. Different hitter against lefties. RBI single scoring is Wells. Yankees up 6-3. 6-3 lead for Max Freed. Now maybe he’s going to stay on this roll here. He’s retired the last six men that he’s faced. He struck out three of them. Diaz strikes out on the curveball. It’s been his best pitch tonight. It’s been this curveball. Two out. Nobody on the pitch. Swing and a miss. A weak wave and a sweeper down and in. Max Freed. He’s retired the last nine that he’s faced. Big man has struck out. Fly to left against Jo Boy. 3-2 lifted toward left center field. Duca will go to the track in front of the wall with a leap and he makes the catch. So Duca tracking that one alongside but Duca a long run after that one and he halts it in. Reed going for his 12th win of the year. It’s number 93. Foul ball held on by Wells. Worked in on his hands. Strikeout number eight. Retired now 11 consecutive hitters. There it comes. Fast ball broken back. Ground ball. McMahon charges. gloves, throws on the run, right on the money. This kid’s good. Ryan McMahon making pretty much every play. That’s a dozen. 12 consecutive hitters retired by Max Freed. My performance by Max Freed as he is out for the seventh inning. He’s retired the last 12 men in this 63 Yankee lead. Swing and a miss. Low down on strikes. Ninth strikeout for Max Freed. Yeah, just worked him over right here after that big slow curveball. that oneline sinker down and in diving. Jose Caviierro walking a flat left up the middle. Chisum two-way and he walks a 14 straight retired before he walks for and out comes Bull Max trying to lobby. I’m okay. I got this. You got to let him go. There we go. All right. Freed said I got him. He always does. He said I got this guy. Taylor Walls is coming up. Swinging a line drive into a right center that’s going to drop for a base hit and will split the gap and go all the way to the wall. Hitting third is Forz. He’s coming home. Walls comes around second and will hold with a run-scoring double. That definitely will chase Max Freed. You got him. Nope. And it’s a 6-4 ball game. He’s going to get a nice hand. Lewis got his task getting out here immediately. Diaz one for seven against him with the walk. Swung on hit the right side and Goldmith’s right there. One hopper. Goldie will take it to the bag and that’ll do it. Here’s Cody Bellinger who has one of the biggest hits of the game. The pitch swung on and grounded hard to first. Diving stopped. Diaz pops up, flips to first to Baker in time. Two down. Deandi taking away a hit from Bellinger. Boy, that was a pretty play to his forehand. First and second, nobody out. And now the tying runs are avoid the go-ahad run coming to the plate. Lisa came in got the final out of the seventh inning, but now he’s giving up a couple of base hits and a bit of trouble here on one hop. Bulby makes a nice play and turns it into two. 643 as Arand moves the third. One-1 pitch swing on popped it up down the left field line given Chase McMahon. Does it come back to him? It does. Yes, sir. With two outs, nobody on here. Bottom of the eighth. Here’s Anthony Bfield. Highf fly ball center field and deep. Simpson back on the track at the wall. See youa. A home run into the Yankee bullpen. His 15th of the year. And the Yankees are up by three. That’s how you turn those boos to cheers in a hurry. And the first two men are on for the Rays meaning they will get the potential tying run to the plate. Tristan Gray bats. A little number to the left side down to second and out there. The run scores. So Josh Low crosses the plate. That makes it seven to five. The surehanded McMahon. You’ll see here on the transfer had a little trouble getting rid of a little jump pass over to Jazz Chisum. Good job, Jazz staying on the bag right there. Two down. Rays down to their final chance. Here is Yandi Diaz. Ground it. Bulpi sets, fires, and it’s dropped. Gold dropped the throw and the Razer alive. A low throw by Vulpi. Could not come up with a scoop. And that’ll be another error. Now Aronda who has homered and singled. Runners at second and third. And a single. Little old single by Aronda and they might tie this to and the one two swing and a miss. Exhale. Yankees win 75. Wow. Wow. I tell you what. Razor’s edge, huh?

  1. Bro volpe quite literally can’t make that throw anymore; even when they get the out it’s a dig or a stretch. Idk what they have to do but something has to change

  2. I’m so sick of seeing Volpe continue to get leash meanwhile any other young player as bad as him wouldn’t be on the team anymore after more than 2.5 seasons.

  3. Morel batting cleanup? 😂😂😂 The Rays have officially changed their name to the clowns. This team is more of a joke than the Jankees.

  4. Yankees didnt deserve to win that game. Fried didnt trust the bullpen, that is why he lobbied for staying in the game. The Yankees are putrid and will get beat the last two games of the series.

  5. McMahon is one of those middle o the road dudes that becomes ridiculous when the pinstripes get on em. Great glove already and the bat will come around now

  6. Volpe leads the league in errors with 15, Chisolm is also in the top 10 in errors. I've seen the Yanks make more dumb errors in the last two weeks than should be possible.

  7. Wonder why Goldschmidt suddenly is terrible after years of consistency? Because billion dollar betting conglomerates control every aspect of baseball. Too much money is on him especially since he is the one informing Judge of the pitches. Wake up kids. Sports are all controlled.

  8. Let's be honest; Belly has been undeniably far better than Soto. And it's not close. You can start with Belly's incredible defense and go from there. I want to say there's a bit of a salary discrepancy too!🤣😭
