Serves up walk-off homer
Williams (3-2) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins, coughing up four runs on two hits and two walks in one-third of an inning.
Analyse
With the game tied 0-0, Williams took the mound for the bottom of the ninth and promptly gave up a leadoff double to Christopher Morel. A sacrifice bunt and two walks loaded the bases, and Heriberto Hernandez then got hold of a changeup and crushed it over the center-field fence for a walk-off grand slam. It was just the second long ball Williams has served up in 2026, but both have come on his previously unhittable Airbender -- the right-hander's allowed a .325 batting average and .550 SLG on his changeup this season, after giving up a .162 BA and .216 SLG on the pitch just two years ago. Through his first 17 innings as a Met, Williams has a 6.35 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB while converting seven of eight save chances.

In vintage form after adjustment
Williams credits a mechanical adjustment for his current 10-appearance scoreless streak, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
The right-hander has suddenly regained the elite form he showed to begin his career in Milwaukee, where he posted a sub-2.00 ERA over three straight seasons before being traded to the Yankees in 2025. His new club had Williams adjust the position of his hands when he began his motion to the plate in an effort to combat perceived pitch tipping, but the end result was a 4.79 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 90:25 K:BB over 62 innings last year, and he eventually lost the closer job to David Bednar. Williams signed a three-year contract with the Mets this offseason, and after a shaky start to 2026, a video review session in late April prompted the 31-year-old to return to original hand placement. Since then, he's converted five straight save chances over 9.2 shutout innings with a 12:2 K:BB.

Hangs on for seventh save
Williams secured the save Thursday against the Nationals, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.
Analyse
Williams let the possible tying run get into scoring position via a Daylen Lile double but held on to preserve a one-run win for the Mets on Thursday. That's now 10 consecutive scoreless outings for the right-hander, who has nailed down five straight save opportunities. Williams' stats are still recovering from a brutal start to the year, as he now has a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB over 16.2 innings while converting seven of his eight save chances.
