Overview
- The Yankees erased a five-run deficit to win 9-6 in the Bronx, avoiding a sweep and trimming Toronto’s series lead to 2-1 in a franchise-record comeback for an elimination game.
- Aaron Judge tied the game with a three-run homer off the left-field foul pole, finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs, and added a key diving catch in right field.
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered the go-ahead homer in the fifth, and a bullpen relay of Fernando Cruz, Camilo Doval, Tim Hill and Devin Williams set up David Bednar’s save.
- Both starters exited early—Carlos Rodón after 2 1/3 innings and Shane Bieber after 2 2/3—as Toronto’s defensive miscues, including costly errors, extended New York rallies.
- Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the club is reviewing reliever Seranthony Dominguez for possible pitch tipping, a factor under consideration as Toronto maps late-game matchups.
