The Blue Jays were in New York tonight to take on the Yankees.
The Blue Jays can beat the Yankees tonight with a win. For their part, after two failures in Toronto, the Bombers were trying to avoid the sweep and stay alive.
Things started off well for the Blue Jays as they sent Davis Schneider to base for a walk. And guess who hit a two-run home run later?
That's right: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He hates the Yankees and it shows.

But the Yankees soon decided to get on the scoreboard. The Blue Jays thought they had wrapped up the first inning, but Isaiah Kiner-Falefa committed an error on a routine play.
Result? Instead of seeing Shane Bieber finish the inning with fewer than 10 outs, the Blue Jays pitcher allowed Giancarlo Stanton to bring home Aaron Judge.

After that, the Blue Jays continued to send runners into the lanes, which caused Carlos Rodon to throw pitches at a slightly excessive rate.
45 pitches in two innings is too much.
It should be noted that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was treated to Aaron Judge in the third inning: an intentional walk to the runner in the second inning.
But the rest of the lineup got things moving, with Davis Schneider taking advantage of a routine play in the Yankees outfield to drive home a run to make it 3-1.

Later, Ernie Clement (who had a good game) hit the ball into the outfield. Vladdy took a good risk by challenging Cody Bellinger… and it paid off as his aggressiveness led to a 4-1 score.
And of course he did the Superman dive again. #Wow
What a slide Vladi! score 4-1 @BlueJays in the third!

It wasn't over yet as veteran Anthony Santander, recovering from a tough season, won 6-1 with a big hit. He has two points.
That was the end of Rodon's game after just seven outs.
However, the Yankees by no means had their last word. The home team scored two runs in the third inning. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton served as producers for the series.
And after just 2.2 innings, Shane Bieber left. He gave up three runs and left two runners on the road who did not score. Are you saying this isn't ideal ahead of a potential bullpen day the next day?
And soon the Blue Jays bullpen began to act up.
In a 6-3 game, Aaron Judge hit a game-tying three-run homer to bring everyone back to square one… shortly after a defensive error by Addison Barger. He had a good episode, judge, but no signature moment. Now it's done.

At this point it was 10:00 pm and the fourth inning had just ended. Nobody was going to bed. #Kadran
After this, Louis Varland continued his ugly trick. After his home run to Judge, he allowed Jazz Chisholm Jr. to cross the plate with a long ball. He made the score 7-6 in favor of his team. And Austin Wells against Braydon Fisher made it 8-6 before being pinned at second base.

That gave the Yankees seven straight runs, who were also held up by their bullpen. At one point the score was 6-1.
The Yankees made it 9-6 when Aaron Judge moved from first to third on Anthony Santander's fun play to right field…and the captain came home on a sacrifice fly.

So the Yankees have a big win that keeps them alive. Tomorrow night the Bombers and Blue Jays will cross swords in the Bronx immediately after Game 4.
This will be a real duel between Blue Jays pitcher and Cam Schlittler, who has been performing well lately but has pitched poorly against the Blue Jays early in the regular season.

The guy who hit Cal Raley's 61st home run was wearing a shirt that said, “HIT 61 HERE.”
…and a shirt underneath that says “GET 62 HERE”
