Overview

  • Ben Rice launched a three-run homer in the first after on-field relays picked up Max Scherzer tipping his changeup, with Cody Bellinger signaling to Aaron Judge, who alerted Rice.
  • Max Fried delivered seven innings of three-run ball and escaped a second-and-third, none-out jam, moving to 16-5 and tying for the MLB lead in wins.
  • Cody Bellinger’s RBI double scored Judge for the decisive run, and Judge added a stolen base and a diving catch in right field.
  • David Bednar notched the save after Austin Wells threw out a runner trying to steal in the ninth, and Devin Williams stranded two in the eighth.
  • Toronto left six men on base and sat Bo Bichette with shin soreness, as New York closed within two games with 19 remaining before hosting Detroit after an off day.
