Yankees vs. Blue Jays Game Highlights (7_23_25) MLB Highlights - MLB
Transcript
00:00You might hear this a lot in the next couple of months, but boy, does this feel like a big game.
00:05At the end of this one, Joe, the Blue Jays will be either 2-up or 4-up on the New York Yankees.
00:10The rubber match tonight features a great pitching matchup.
00:13Bassett at home this year, 7-0 with a 2-5-3 ERA.
00:16In seven career starts versus the Yankees as well, he's 4-1 with a 2-0-3 ERA.
00:22He's allowed three runs or less in each of his last five home starts.
00:27Ground ball, right side. Oh, a diving play by Jimenez.
00:30The throw to first. Not in time.
00:33Grisham beat it out. What a play by Jimenez to even make that close.
00:37The Blue Jays are going to challenge right away.
00:40And to use your challenge this early in the game, they've got to be pretty sure that it's going to go their way.
00:47And I think they're going to win this one.
00:53Oh, I'm just a routine 4-3 to start the ballgame tonight.
00:56Hit on the ground to short.
00:57Bichette moves to his right.
00:58Charges in pro hop and toss over to first to end the inning.
01:021-2-3 for Bassett in the first three.
01:04Working on ten days of rest because of that blister problem that he said is past.
01:10And he's had a little history of these blisters.
01:12Four short IL stints when he was with the Braves.
01:14Third time he has seen the Jays this year.
01:17He has a win and a no decision in his first two.
01:19And he cracks the first pitch to left center field.
01:22On the run is Grisham.
01:24And he makes a beautiful running play for out number one.
01:28Well, Trent Grisham has gotten his sprints in already in this game.
01:31We know that he's been nursing some leg issues all year.
01:34Just puts it in cruise control.
01:36Able to make the outstanding play.
01:38Here's Vlad Guerrero Jr.
01:39Had a good night last night.
01:40Went three for five.
01:41Swing and a miss.
01:42Cutter beat him.
01:43Nicely done by Max's first strikeout.
01:461-2-3 in the first.
01:47A little respect.
01:47So here's Dominguez.
01:49If you believe and do, he is.
01:51He's 0 for his last 18.
01:52Good night to get him in the lineup if you're Aaron Boone.
01:55Five for six in his career against Chris Bassett.
01:58Drill to right field.
01:59Barger back.
02:00Turning.
02:00Looking.
02:01See ya.
02:02A home run.
02:04What a way to break it.
02:050 for 18.
02:06A solo shot.
02:07The Yankees on the board.
02:081-0.
02:09Home run number nine for Dominguez.
02:11And that is a big one to get him back on track.
02:14And I told you the numbers coming in against Bassett.
02:17Five for six.
02:18He's now six for seven for the homer.
02:21For some reason, he sees the ball well out of Bassett's hand.
02:24Oswald Peraza leads it off against Chris Bassett.
02:27And a call goes Bassett's way.
02:30Peraza didn't like it.
02:31And I doubt Aaron Boone will either.
02:33And that's a look that a manager can get from the side.
02:36He sees the height of that pitch crossing the chest of his hitter.
02:40Very fair argument from the Yankees manager.
02:42You don't see this that often.
02:43And Matty Gonzalez goes, that's my bad.
02:45He knows he missed the call.
02:46And that completely disarms the team.
02:48Yeah, what do you do if you're Aaron Boone?
02:49You say, okay.
02:50There's Miles Straw, the center fielder.
02:52His game is speed.
02:53Fastball hit up the middle.
02:55Jazz Chisholm on the backhand.
02:56Jump throw.
02:56Cross his body.
02:57Dug out by Rice.
02:58Nicely done.
02:59Two down.
03:00Great play by Jazz.
03:01Straw thinks he's safe.
03:03First base umpire Ron Culpa calls him out on the field.
03:06Let's see if they challenge.
03:07But that's a nice play by Chisholm.
03:08Good defensive plays here early in the ballgame.
03:10Jimenez, two for his last 20, hitting 0-91.
03:14Ground ball hit to Volpe.
03:15Down on the partial knee.
03:17Throws over in time and on the money to Rice.
03:20Nine up, nine down.
03:21Max Freed.
03:221-0 lead Yankees here in Toronto.
03:24One blemish.
03:25The home run by Dominguez.
03:27Other than that, nothing for the Yankees.
03:29He hit Volpe with a curveball that slipped out of his hand.
03:32That's the only other base runner.
03:33There's only been one hit in the game.
03:35Total.
03:353-2.
03:36Cold strike three.
03:37Freezes Chisholm on a sinker.
03:39That will do it for the inning.
03:41Chris Bassett strikes out the side.
03:43And now the Blue Jays have the top of the order coming up in the bottom of the fourth.
03:47Chris Bassett's been really good.
03:48Max Freed's been great so far tonight.
03:51Nine up and nine down.
03:52Line up the middle.
03:54Headed to center field.
03:55Sinking it down for a base hit.
03:56One hops into the glove of Grisham.
03:58Springer is the first Blue Jays base runner tonight.
04:01Let's see if George can't get this team going here against Max Freed.
04:05Here's Guerrero, who struck out in the first.
04:08Guerrero lashes one.
04:09Down the left field line.
04:10Base hit.
04:10Bouncing softly into the corner.
04:13Springer around second.
04:14He's headed to third.
04:15Loses his helmet as he gets the wave.
04:17George Springer dives into home plate.
04:20And we're tied.
04:21RBI double.
04:22Vladimir Guerrero, Jr.
04:24It's 1-1 in the fourth.
04:25Well, Vlad got his mistake.
04:27He got that elevated cutter.
04:29And he ripped it past Oswald Peraza at third base.
04:32George Springer comes barreling around second base.
04:34He's thinking one thing.
04:35The number of 35-year-olds who can routinely score from first on a double.
04:39That's a pretty select group.
04:41There aren't that many of them running around Major League Baseball right now.
04:44He's winded, and he deserves it.
04:46Moving.
04:47Wow.
04:47Yeah.
04:48So it's a 20-pitch inning for Freed.
04:50And Ascar goes out to give him a little bit of a rest.
04:52Two on, two out with Barger coming up.
04:54And a ground ball to the left side.
04:56Peraza with a diving stop.
04:58And Barger is safe.
05:00A little bit of trouble getting rid of it.
05:03And the bases are loaded.
05:04It is an infield hit for Barger.
05:07They're loaded for Ernie Clement, who hit a fly ball to center on the first pitch he saw
05:11his first time up.
05:12Line over the middle.
05:13Into center field.
05:15Base hit.
05:15Vlade in to score.
05:17Kirk will stop at third as the throw goes back into Ben Rice.
05:20Blue Jays take the lead.
05:21So, Canada Day, Max Freed, three hitless innings to begin the game.
05:27And then the Blue Jays got four runs off him in the fourth.
05:30Tonight, three perfect innings to begin the game.
05:32And they've got two runs off him here in the fourth.
05:35And the base is loaded with two outs.
05:37Swung on off of Max's right leg.
05:39Peraza fields.
05:40Throws.
05:41Just got him.
05:42Great play by Peraza.
05:44What reaction.
05:45Boy, oh boy, what an inning that was.
05:47Eight men to the plate.
05:48And Toronto puts two on the board.
05:50Volpe continues to be under heat from Yankees.
05:53Nation has been in a slump offensively.
05:55Here's a high fly ball.
05:57Left field.
05:58It backs up Schneider on the track.
06:00It keeps going.
06:01It keeps going.
06:01It's gone.
06:03Anthony Volpe leaves the yard.
06:04Ties it at 2-2.
06:06Thirteenth home run of the year.
06:07A solo shot for Anthony Volpe.
06:10He must have got some great backspin on this fly ball.
06:13That ball just kept carrying.
06:15And the Yankees answer back quickly here in the fifth.
06:18A four-pitch walk to Schneider.
06:20And one-half in the fifth.
06:21The pitch in the dirt.
06:23And a delayed go there by Schneider.
06:26And the Blue Jays are going to challenge.
06:28Oh, I think he got in there.
06:29He got that finger in for sure.
06:31I don't know.
06:32He might have not blocked the base.
06:33I don't know if it's obvious enough.
06:35But he definitely got that kind of left pinky finger in there.
06:39After review to call the field is overturned.
06:41The runner is safe.
06:42The replay room is having a heck of a night tonight.
06:44Two for two.
06:46And all of a sudden, Max Freed's command is starting to elude him.
06:50And you mentioned he looked down at his index finger earlier this inning.
06:53Remember, he had a blister problem in his last start.
06:57We don't know if it's bothering him again.
07:00Second and third, one out.
07:01The middle infielders are still backed up.
07:04And a little bounce towards third.
07:06Schneider coming to the plate.
07:07And he's safe.
07:09And now Springer coming in behind him.
07:12And somehow the Blue Jays get two runs out of that.
07:16Freed is a gold glover.
07:17He is a fantastic defender.
07:19He decided to fire at home.
07:21They may have had a shot at Schneider.
07:23But Asgara could not hold on to the baseball as it took off out of his glove.
07:26And subpar defensive teams will show you why they are subpar defensive teams eventually.
07:32So a good start for the Yankees here in the sixth.
07:34They catch a break.
07:35So they've got a runner at third, one out, and Judge coming up.
07:39And now what is John Schneider's decision going to be in terms of whether or not they pitch to Judge?
07:44And it looks like they're going to let Bassett pitch to Judge.
07:48That one is driven into right center field.
07:50Long run for Straw.
07:51He turns, looks, and that ball is gone.
07:55A two-run home run for Judge to tie the game at four.
07:59A bullet to right center.
08:01Just what the Yankees needed.
08:02352 career home runs out of six in franchise history for Aaron Judge and a big one.
08:10They've intentionally walked him more than any other team in baseball this year.
08:14Twice in this series, seven times this season.
08:17But elected not to.
08:19And it cost him.
08:19An absolute gift from the baseball gods.
08:23Cody Bellinger lost the baseball in right field.
08:26And Ernie Clement picks up a triple.
08:28Down the left field line.
08:31A fair ball.
08:32And Miles Straw delivers.
08:35With a huge RBI double to give the Blue Jays the lead.
08:39A go-ahead RBI double in the sixth.
08:42It's 5-4 Blue Jays.
08:43And that'll do it for Max Fried.
08:45You hope that that blister has not been an issue again because he's had 10 days off.
08:49And if it cropped up again, it's something to be concerned about.
08:53Miles Straw into third with two outs.
08:55And another pinch hitter.
08:56Will Wagner is going to bat for Davis Schneider.
08:59Hit Horn on the right side on the ground.
09:00Bobbled at first by Rice.
09:02Wagner sprints through the bag.
09:04He's safe.
09:04Straw to score.
09:06Another Yankees error brings in a Blue Jays run.
09:10Yankees not exactly putting on a clinic defensively.
09:13That brings up Anthony Volpe.
09:15And strike three called.
09:16Another pitch that appeared to be high the second time tonight.
09:21Pitching coach.
09:22Yeah, that's what Manny Gonzalez just said.
09:23I think Matt Blake got kicked out of the game.
09:25And now, now Boone is on out.
09:27Now Gonzalez is going to hear it.
09:29This is getting really hot right now.
09:31If you're Aaron Boone, you're hoping that'll fire the boys up in the dugout a little bit.
09:34Try to give the Blue Jays a finish here.
09:36And it's kicked around by Dominguez.
09:38That will be the fourth error on the Yankees in this game.
09:42The Yankees have more errors than they have hits tonight.
09:45All three hits are homers, but they've committed four errors.
09:48You need to hit a lot of homers to overcome that shoddy defense.
09:52It has haunted them tonight.
09:53Bichette locks it.
09:54Left field and deep.
09:56Dominguez sprinting back.
09:57Runs in a room.
09:58It's good!
09:59See you later for Bo Bichette.
10:02A two-run homer.
10:03And the Blue Jays are doubling up the Yankees.
10:07Eight to four.
10:08And again, the defense hurts the Yankees.
10:11Three of the eight runs unearned tonight.
10:14Chris Bassett is out to at least begin the eighth inning.
10:16This is the first time this season Chris Bassett will throw a pitch in the eighth inning of the game.
10:21Bounced up the middle on the run.
10:22Clement.
10:23Backhands.
10:23Jump throw across his body to first.
10:25In time!
10:26And that was the plan.
10:27Just the one batter.
10:29And now John Schneider is out to take the ball from Chris Bassett,
10:33who is about to get quite possibly the biggest ovation he has gotten in his three years as a member of the Blue Jays.
10:40Here you go.
10:41Back-to-back base hits.
10:43He got into the Blue Jay bullpen.
10:44And the big man comes up to the plate.
10:47Well, and that's where those runs come in handy.
10:49It's a four-run lead.
10:50The tying run is standing on deck.
10:53Not in the batter's box.
10:54Hit on the ground is short.
10:55Bichette waits on it.
10:56Throws to second one.
10:57Clement snaps a throw to first.
10:59In time!
11:00Double play!
11:01Judge thinks he was safe.
11:03New York's challenging the out-call first base.
11:05Nice turn from Ernie Clement.
11:06Quick hands, quick feet.
11:08He's safe at first base.
11:09It might be too close to overturn, though.
11:11I mean, it's razor thin if he beat it.
11:13Half review to call field in second.
11:15The runner's second is out.
11:18The runner's first.
11:20Call is out.
11:21Bam.
11:22So they challenged both.
11:24Both were upheld.
11:25It's a double play.
11:27Top of the ninth inning, and the Blue Jays three outs away from winning this series and taking
11:32a four-game lead atop the American League East.
11:35Lifted to left center.
11:37Straw jogging to reel it in.
11:39He makes the grab, and the Blue Jays win it 8-4.
11:43It's a great day to be a Toronto Blue Jays.
11:47They take the series from the Yankees, and the season series goes with them as well.
11:52There we go.
