Jazz Chisholm Rebounds From Benching, Earns Start for Yankees’ Game 3

He decompressed by routing an opponent in MLB: The Show before delivering elite defense capped by the go-ahead run.

Overview

  • Chisholm did not start Game 1 and conducted his postgame interview facing away from reporters after the Yankees’ loss.
  • He said he unwound by playing MLB: The Show, mercy‑ruling an online opponent with his Diamond Dynasty team, the New York Aliens, featuring himself, Ken Griffey Jr. and Jimmy Rollins.
  • Starting in Game 2, he authored a pair of standout defensive plays, including a stop that reliever Fernando Cruz credited with saving the game on Masataka Yoshida’s seventh‑inning single.
  • He then scored the decisive run by sprinting from first to home in 9.16 seconds on Austin Wells’ eighth‑inning single to force a winner‑take‑all Game 3.
  • Aaron Boone said Chisholm would be in the lineup for the decider, and the official card later listed him batting seventh at second base.
