Bellinger and Chisholm Lift Yankees Past Blue Jays 7-6 — Where To Watch Toronto Blue Jays Vs New York Yankees
where to watch toronto blue jays vs new york yankees got a sharp answer Monday night: the Yankees beat the Blue Jays 7-6 in New York after Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit back-to-back two-run homers in the seventh inning. The win gave New York a one-run result in its first game against Toronto since last year’s AL Division Series.
Paul Goldschmidt added two RBIs and homered on Patrick Corbin’s first pitch of the game, but the game swung late when the Yankees turned a 5-3 deficit in the seventh into a 7-5 lead. New York improved to 4-10 in one-run games, a record that makes every late inning feel heavier than the scoreline suggests.
Bellinger, Chisholm flip the seventh
Bellinger hit his two-run shot off Yariel Rodríguez, then Chisholm followed with another two-run homer in the same inning. Aaron Judge also singled off Rodríguez, and Trent Grisham walked as a pinch-hitter as New York kept the inning alive long enough to take control.
That rally answered an earlier hole. The Yankees trailed 3-1 in the fourth inning after Ernie Clement’s three-run homer put Toronto ahead, and they were still behind 5-3 entering the seventh before the lineup finally broke through. The scoring burst gave New York the margin it needed even with Toronto still putting pressure on the game late.
Bednar closes after a scare
David Bednar earned his 11th save in 13 chances, but not without work. He allowed a ninth-inning run before stranding a pair of runners, struck out George Springer, and then got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a groundout to end it.
Toronto still got production from Clement, who finished with four RBIs, and Springer hit his first home run since March 30. Adam Macko also made his major league debut and recorded three straight outs, while Paul Blackburn covered 1 2/3 innings of one-hit relief for New York.
Will Warren, Dylan Cease Tuesday
The Yankees now turn to Will Warren, who is scheduled to start Tuesday night against Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease. Austin Wells remained out of the starting lineup for the second straight day after going 2 for 23 on the trip with 11 strikeouts; he is batting.173 with five RBIs this season.
For New York, the night came down to one inning and one run of separation. The offense finally matched Toronto’s damage, and Bednar handled the last test after the seventh-inning swing changed the game.
