Overview
- Aaron Judge went 3-for-4 with a game-tying three-run homer off the left-field foul pole and a playoff career-high four RBI.
- New York erased a 6–1 deficit for its largest comeback in a postseason elimination game, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. providing the go-ahead homer in the fifth.
- Starters Carlos Rodón (2 1/3 IP, 6 ER) and Shane Bieber (2 2/3 IP, 3 R, 2 ER) exited early as the game turned to the bullpens.
- Yankees relievers Fernando Cruz, Camilo Doval, Tim Hill and Devin Williams bridged to David Bednar, who recorded the save to cap 6 2/3 scoreless relief innings.
- Toronto’s defensive lapses — including errors by Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Addison Barger and a misplay by Anthony Santander — aided the comeback; Game 4 features Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler, with the Blue Jays considering a bullpen game after outscoring New York 23–8 in the first two games.
