The Detroit Tigers secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees in the Little League Classic held in Williamsport. The game went into extra innings, with DJ LeMahieu hitting a go-ahead RBI single for the Yankees in the top of the 10th inning, making it Yankees 2-1 Tigers. However, the Tigers responded with a walk-off win, thanks to Parker Meadows' decisive play. Jace Jung played a crucial role by tying the game in the 9th inning with a run-scoring single off Yankees' closer Clay Holmes. Holmes has now recorded 10 blown saves this season, the most in Major League Baseball, raising questions about his role as the Yankees' closer.
