Bellinger’s Throw Seals Yankees’ 3-1 Win Over Blue Jays, Cuts AL East Gap to Three

Pitching plus a clutch defensive play decided a rain-delayed game at Yankee Stadium.

Overview

  • Cody Bellinger fired a 95.3 mph one-hop throw to Austin Wells to cut down Bo Bichette at the plate for the final out of the sixth inning.
  • The tag play preceded a 106-minute rain delay; Bichette grabbed his left leg, left with a trainer, and returned when play resumed.
  • Luis Gil limited Toronto to one run over six innings with four walks and one strikeout before the delay.
  • Luke Weaver and Fernando Cruz set up David Bednar, who notched a four-out save with three strikeouts for his 21st of the season.
  • New York scored on Jasson Domínguez’s RBI single and two sacrifice flies from Wells, with Aaron Judge at designated hitter as he manages a right flexor strain.
