Oh no, oh no, oh no.
The New York Yankees traded for three bullpen arms on Thursday, right before MLB's deadline for deals.
On Friday, that trio put together a trifecta of nightmares in Miami.
The Yanks built a big early lead, and they decided to turn to all the new guys. And all of them blew it. The Marlins, somehow, came back to win 13-12.
It started in the bottom of the seventh, when former Rockies right-handed Jake Bird entered the game with a 9-4 lead.
The Marlins off Bird went single, strikeout, single, walk and Kyle Stowers grand slam.
The Stowers slam pulled the Marlins within 9-8.

At that point, the Yankees turned to David Bednar, formerly the Pirates' closer.
Bednar induced a groundout for the second out of the seventh, but then he gave up a solo homer to Javier Sanoja that tied the game at 9-9.
Then, Bednar allowed a double, an infield single and an RBI single to make it 10-9 Marlins before a popup ended the seventh.
The Yankees tied it 10-10 in the top of the eighth on an Anthony Volpe homer.
Bednar stayed on for bottom eighth and was sharp, going strikeout, strikeout, groundout for a 1-2-3 frame.
The Yankees took the lead in top nine on a single from new guy Ryan McMahon to score new guy Jose Caballero, who had pinch-run and stole second.
Then a Volpe double plated McMahon to give the Yankees a 12-10 lead heading to the last.

Camilo Doval, from the Giants, came on to close it out. He got a groundout, but then gave up a single to Sanoja and walked the next guy.
At that point, Edwards singled to right, and an error by Caballero allowed two runs to come around and score to tie the game.
The next hitter, Agustin Ramirez, plated Edwards to end it.
Bird, Bednar and Doval combined to get seven outs. They gave up nine runs.
It could hardly be worse.
