They say you can only make a first impression once, and former Yankees pitcher Camilo Doval may like another chance at his.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new Pirates reliever found himself in a tough spot on Sunday in his first appearance with his new team after being traded by the Bronx Bombers<\/a>, giving up a home run to Reds player Tyler Stephenson in the bottom of the eighth inning of what would be a 10-2 Pittsburgh loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Doval was behind in the count, 3-1, when his sixth pitch of the appearance was taken into the stands in right field by Stephenson, giving the Reds their 10th run of the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Doval was traded by the Yankees when things didn\u2019t go as planned in The Bronx after he was acquired at the 2025 trade deadline. He fell down the pecking order in the Yankees bullpen and this season he posted a 4.54 ERA in 44 appearances in pinstripes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reliever had a drastic difference in his appearances at Yankee Stadium and road appearances. In The Bronx, his ERA was 7.08 and away from it, he had a 1.86 ERA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI see no difference pitching in PNC Park or Yankee Stadium,\u201d Doval said, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. <\/a>\u201cIt\u2019s the same. I have to do the same job. In my opinion, it\u2019s just a mental thing. You just have to prepare yourself to pitch anywhere at any time in the big leagues.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, it didn\u2019t appear in his first appearance in a Pirates uniform that being out of Yankee Stadium made much difference in this instance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pirates manager Don Kelly did seem happy with what he saw out of Doval despite the home run he gave up.\u00a0It was the only hit he allowed in the inning. <\/p>\n

\u201cGood stuff. First time coming out, I know Stephenson got him there, but I thought the stuff looked good, and we\u2019re excited to have him in the back of the \u2018pen,\u201d Kelly said, according to MLB.com.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They say you can only make a first impression once, and former Yankees pitcher Camilo Doval may like…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,20,9,24,321,63,19217,319,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-312231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-nyc","tag-pittsburgh-pirates","tag-sports","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
