The New York Yankees secured a crucial 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in a rain-delayed, 10-inning contest on Sunday. Veteran DJ LeMahieu delivered the walk-off single that lifted the Yankees, who are battling to keep pace in a tight division race.
How it happened
Starting pitcher Gerrit Cole faced rookie Yariel Rodríguez, setting the stage for a high-stakes game. Cole, although not at his sharpest, limited damage and kept the Yankees within reach despite giving up two early runs. He exited in the sixth inning after 91 pitches.
The Yankees’ offense struggled initially, leaving multiple runners stranded. Giancarlo Stanton, in particular, had a tough day at the plate, missing key opportunities to drive in runs. However, the Yankees showcased resilience.
In the sixth inning, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe sparked a comeback with back-to-back singles. A double steal put them in scoring position, and RBIs from Trent Grisham and LeMahieu tied the game at 2-2. Juan Soto then gave the Yankees a brief 3-2 lead with a solo home run in the seventh.
Defensive miscommunication in the eighth allowed the Blue Jays to tie the game again. Despite the setback and a rain delay of nearly two hours, the Yankees remained focused. Reliever Clay Holmes managed to escape a bases-loaded situation, maintaining the tie.
The Yankees’ determination paid off in the 10th inning. After a sacrifice bunt by Grisham moved the automatic runner to third, LeMahieu stepped up. Facing Toronto’s five-man infield, he singled up the middle, clinching the victory and earning a Gatorade bath from his teammates.
