“Te amo (I love you)."

Omaley Cruz also posted another clip from the game, featuring the pitcher standing on the field with some of his teammates. She captioned it:

"Te amamos mi vida. Al final buscándonos," which translates to, "We love you, my life. Finally, we're looking for each other" (per Google Translate).

Fernando Cruz pitched two scoreless innings, recording four strikeouts. The Yankees' offense got on the board in the third inning with Jasson Dominguez’s 377-foot solo homer. In the fourth, Anthony Volpe hit a solo homer shortly after Oswaldo Cabrera reached on a fielding error, giving the team a 4-2 lead.

The Diamondbacks' offense showcased its prowess in the eighth, scoring five runs after Geraldo Perdomo’s RBI single and Eugenio Suarez’s grand slam. The Yankees managed to add only one more run to their tally in the ninth on Ben Rice’s home run. They suffered a 7-5 loss in the end.
