Yankees reliever Ian Hamilton continued to struggle in the ninth, giving up a two-run blast to Rangers backstop Jonah Heim, but closer Luke Weaver was there to shut the door. He recorded one out to record the save, getting leadoff hitter Josh Smith to pop out to second and end the game.

The Yankee rookie set a career high in strikeouts for a second straight start as the Yanks continued their winning ways at home.
