 We are under the lights as the show gets you ready for another edition of Major League Baseball Tonight an intriguing matchup between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball on the show is next Chase Anderson a right-hander from the state of Texas is the man on the mound here and please act What do you got one of the things that jumps out if you look at that stat sheet a very high whip coming into this start One of the things he's going to have to do a much better job Keep traffic off the bases keep the walks down try to limit the amount of hits He's had a rough goal that so far this year. Let's see if he can turn it around in this one Here's Miguel and a hard now and we are set for baseball here this evening First of three here on a Friday night as the first pitch is in there for strike one The guys as the Jays take the field here tonight They've been playing some pretty good baseball of late as they've won six of their last eight games. Yeah, Maddie This team is starting to really come together. They won last night. They're playing really nice I expect much more of the same today swing and there it goes deep to left No chance at bringing this one back and gone up into the second deck So it's a solo home run here leading off the ballgame Number 10 for him on the year as the Yankees will grab a one-to-nothing lead. I Love the way this lineups constructed right out of the gate They smack you right in the mouth with one of the better power hitters in their lineup And he takes them deep right there to set the tone Here's big Aaron judge and he comes in as a player to watch out for hitting well over 300 on the season He did deliver. Here's the first pitch Anderson has logged upwards of 900 innings on the mound so far and in that time he's compiled a whip under 1.3 Translation he's better than league average in that category Faces are empty here. Nobody out on a great pitch there caught in reach and it's one and one So let's take a peek at our umpire and crew in this one behind the plate is Gary Simmons Dero this Gary Simmons. He's the kind of umpire that pitchers really like to throw to yeah I'm okay with it though Dan. You want to go east west? I'll make the adjustment. It's the north south that'll kill you And it's a ball and two strikes now to Aaron judge Anderson is at least partially known for a good changeup and it's not just any change of speed pitch It dances all over the place. Now this ball is hit deep to left field looking up is Hernandez Gone what a start back-to-back homers from the first two batters of the game a Solo home run there for Aaron judge number 28 on the season and this is now a two-to-nothing lead for the Yankees Just a couple of minutes ago. The home crowd was pumped for the beginning of this game But when you hit back-to-back homers to start the game, they have a tendency to sit on their hands Can't start a game any better than that folks And digging into the batters box next will be Giancarlo Stanton as the first pitch to him is swung on and missed for strike one 261 the average coming into action here 25 homers and 63 runs bad at end Joss got the corner that time with a fastball strike to Base is empty here with nobody out now a foul tip straight into the catcher's glove and he's able to hang on to record the first out of the inning Ready now Gary Sanchez and you see what he's done in recent action. Obviously seeing the ball well right now Infield in the over shift here now the pitch Circle change is cut on and missed 0-1 one. Ooh, that's a good pitch to take a hack at right there change up up in the zone He'd like to have that one back The wind up and the 0-1 Swing and a miss on the change up and they're a two gone That swing tells me he was really trying to get a pitch out front and rip it down the line But that wasn't a great pitch to do it on. It's really not the best to strike approach either at the plate Mike Tuckman As the first pitchers have been high it's ball one comes in with an average of 265 Seven homers and an even 20 RB eyes and that misses low and inside two balls and no strike To tight with that one three and oh Now with the base is empty. I think he needs to be careful not to just groove one here just because it's three and oh He's a guy that could ambush you and lose one over the wall And the red light there and it's three and one Hitters count all the way here it comes And it's fouled away Two out nobody on line. That's a base hit in the left field Hey after that hit right there Dero that extends his hitting streak to six games Yeah, no doubt about it six days in a row with knots will help you sleep better at night then That'll bring in Giovanni Urschella first at bat for him as he enters play third in the American League batting race There's no way you could have forecasted this kind of season from this guy not to take anything away from it But I don't think many people in baseball Considered him to be one of the league's best hitters for average coming into this year Hitting the air down the right field line But this is gonna wind up a foul ball You're lucky if you get one pitch a night right down the middle cannot be laid on that fastball This is lying to left Hernandez is there and he'll make the catch to retire the side So two runs come across here both coming via the solo home run will move on to the bottom half of ending number one It's the Yankees two and the Blue Jays coming up. You're watching Major League Baseball on the show Masahiro Tanaka the right-hander from Japan will get the starting assignment in this one and please act What's the word on him? Hey one of the things this guy does really well Neutralize the left-handed hitters on the season lefties are hitting under 250 against this guy So whatever he's doing against lefties. It certainly works now at the plate rowdy tell us It'll leave things off here in the bottom half of the first Here it comes right side and right into the ship and he'll step on first himself for the out The dedicated hitter Coming forward now the Toronto designated hitter Boba Sheck. He's currently ninth in the American League batting race entering play This season really shouldn't come as a surprise to many. We all know what kind of skill this guy produces when he has a bat in his hands Here's the first pitch to him and a ball 1-0 and as the Yankees get started here tonight guys They've got to be considered the hottest team in baseball right now as they come in winners of nine of their last 10 ball games Yeah, Maddie. I can't tell you how important it is to throw that first run up on the board And that's exactly what they did little crooked number a two-spot to give their pitcher a chance to relax and go out and pound the strike zone This team has been playing red-hot baseball recently Grounded the first glove by Lamehyu And he'll take it on to the bag himself two gone now here in the first That is third The third baseman Vladimir Guadalupe Guadalupe So bases are empty here with two gone and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. settles in at the plate Tanaka into his motion first pitch on the way Outside that's a ball Bases are empty here with two men out 2-0 2-0 to a guy with this kind of pop you better be awfully careful because he's gonna be swinging out of his shoes And he gets this fastball over it's 2-1 There's a well-hit ball out to right center field He takes the turn and heads for second and he'll make it the second base now with two gone He got the pitch he wanted and he didn't miss it right there Hammer job The box mortis Gouriel as he takes a cold strike at the knees it's 0-1 Guerrero at second with two down Roughly close with the slider there but it's 1-1 Tough spot to hit here as a hitter you have a base open so you have to almost be trying to think like the pitcher Is he gonna try to pitch around me or is he gonna come in the strike zone? Fastball just missed above the zone The 2-1 home Grounded to short Torres picks it up and nothing will come of the 2-out double as the inning is over Danger averted following the 2-out double We're back to Friday night baseball on the show after this Second inning set to go and that will bring up Labor Torres First offering on its way Right side fielded cleanly And he'll take this to the bag himself and the leadoff man set down to start the second So the base is empty here with one away and that'll bring up DJ LeMay here Here's the pitch Didn't miss by much there but it's just a bit high Bases are empty one man out Fly ball heading for the alley McKinney on the move but he's not gonna get this one it's into the gap Reach second now with one away Everyone knows that this guy's numbers are not where he wants them to be so far this year But you never know by that swing He looks fluid and confident driving that pitch for a double We'll see if that gets him going a bit And that'll bring up Tyler Wade As the first pitch to him is in there for a cold strike one The average coming in 257 Two home runs and 17 RBI's From the belt the pitch Takes a pitch high and away for bowl one And he lays off the pitch down and away Bowl two He might still be thrown off from that first inning guys He got knocked around pretty good And that can be hard to recover from mentally sometimes The two one pitch This is hit the other way out toward left field And that's gonna fall for a base hit And the runner from second will stay put at third And the runners at the corners now with one away That's a big at bat from the bottom of the order Yeah Matty right there Worked himself into a nice situation Got on base right there Now first and third rolls the line up over Top of the order is licking its chops And that'll bring up Miguel Endujar As he looks at a fastball on the inside corner for strike one Endujar is really a well balanced hitter That doesn't seem to matter whether he's facing right hander or lefty He makes a lot of loud contact either way Which is quite rare in today's game Yeah you can tell this guy really pays attention Puts time in, the cage, studies the video Seems to always have a game plan And is not off balance too much Move over to first and the runner back in standing Now the one and one pitch Two one Well giving up hits is one thing But judging by that last pitch He doesn't have any consistency With his release point right now He doesn't know where it's going and he knows it And this is on the ground as short Could be two To second for one Relate of first in time And just like that this side is retired Your basic six four three You'll get him out of danger We're back to Friday night baseball on the show After this Stepping in for the J's To Oscar Hernandez And he's looking to turn things around Ice cold at the plate in recent action First pitch of the at-bat Hit hard But foul Here's one that misses high It's one and one A ballman two strikes And a good bite to that slider as he swings Throw it for the first out of the inning It's always nice to keep a guy that has good wheels Off base And that's just what they did right there Big strikeout Keep that guy off the base Here's Randall Gritchard And he'll take a look at the pitch too low It's ball one He fouls this one off Now the one and one pitch Big sweeping breaking ball right there A good pitch But if he wants to get him to swing at it He'll have to bring it in a little bit closer to the strike zone One out nobody on Well out in front of the breaking ball there for a strike A full count Three and two to Randall Gritchard Lost him here on three two As that pitch misses it's ball four Look at that Number ten Next to bat for Toronto Reese McGuire And the air down the right field line Air base hit No further than second as there are two aboard now There's a long drive Pull it off the wall right there The outfielder does a really good job He will have getting that one quickly And getting it back in To keep him at first for a long single Yeah and also a nice job by the base runner Not there And putting his head down being over aggressive And getting thrown out at second base He saw the play happening in front of him And put the brakes on and got back for a base hit Yeah D-roll I think he would have been toast If he tried to stretch that one into a double And he's a guy looking to break out in a big way Hasn't been getting the results he or his club Have been hoping for And a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball Boy that's one of the toughest pitches to lay off A hard breaking ball at the back foot Tough take on a terrific pitch At one two balls and a strike Has to be a challenge pitch coming up here He probably doesn't want to flirt with loading the bases The two one Ground ball the second this could be two Torres hit the bat On to first as they get the double play To get him out of the inning One left for Toronto They're down two to nothing Up to the third set to get underway And that'll bring up the big bat of Aaron Judge First pitch on its way In there oh and one Chased a low ball there and he's quickly down in the count Oh and two Nothing in two count and the pitch Oh one It's the curve ball that's in the dirt that time And it's back to even now at two and two So you'd love for him to offer at that one But the execution was flawless Nice curve ball that starts in the zone And breaks just out Just a great take by the batter So he gets the swinging strikeout on the change Aaron Judge is retired to kick off the inning Giancarlo Stanton now First pitch coming here it is Well he punched out the last guy But he didn't get any favors from the blue On the first pitch in this at that Probably should be ahead of this hitter Instead of behind Bases are empty one man out That evens it up one and one And this is low ball two Two and one can't find the zone there And it's three and one They know the threat this guy possesses at the plate I know it's three one in this situation right here But I can't imagine anything comes over the heart of the plate Hitters count all the way Here it comes No offer from Stanton it's ball four So he'll head down to first Now batter Gary Coming to the plate now Gary Sanchez He looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up Yeah and he didn't put up much of a fight either Maddie Gotta find a way can't go down three pitches I don't care if you're staring at him Or swinging him you have to find a way To make this picture work a little bit harder Here's a breaking ball outside And now it's even one and one Runner at first here one man out One and two to the Yankees catcher Great pitch there as he couldn't get extended on that one And he's down on strikes for the second out Really good pitch right there So you're moving the ball all around the strike zone And then what do you do You come in that's a hard pitch for any hitter To do anything with just really makes it difficult To get that bad head out Now Mike Tuckman as he looks at a fastball That misses off the plate for ball one A base hit in his first trip A 1-0 home on first with two away Two and one after the foul ball there Has a look now the pitch He's falling behind now three and one You know I kind of see why his ERA Is so high coming into this one He's just putting these guys in too many Good hitters counts that'll catch up With you real quick Lifted the other way to left center Waiting on it as Hernandez and the Ending is over One left for the Yankees But they're on top two to nothing Welcome back as the Blue Jays look To get their bats going in the third inning And you can say they've been trying to do that Pretty much all year at the start of the day They find themselves as one of the worst teams In the league in hitting the long ball And scoring runs I talked to one player before the game That told me he thinks things have sort of Snowballed on them this year They didn't get off to a good start And since then most everyone has simply Been searching for answers and trying To do too much He admitted it's been a frustrating year But they have to keep pushing forward And looking for better ways to generate Back to you guys He's shifted well to the right Here's the first pitch Slider finds the zone for a strike In past meetings with Tanaka Just three for fourteen He's also been a strikeout victim Six times on its way The 0-1 pitch Swing and a miss it's 0-2 That front door slider is a devastating Pitch by the time you realize It's in the zone it's too late And you can't even put a good swing on it The wind up and the 0-2 pitch Still no balls and two strikes Here's another 0-2 That's inside and low It's a ball and two strikes And they really bunch him up on that When he swings and misses for the first out Well it's still early but it's also worth noting That he'd be in line for the win If this keeps up as we take a look At the league leaders in games one this season And as you can see there He currently leads the AL In that department So one away in the Toronto third And that'll bring up rowdy tellings Here's the first pitch to him Inside with the slider And that'll back him up a bit Filed off One out nobody on And he'll come back with one in the dirt As the count moves to two and one now Bouncer to the left side And Dehaar brings it in Go on to first to get him Score it 5-3 on the put out Though it looked more like a 6-3 ground ball Nevertheless there are two away now Deprecated hitter Into the box He got on top of one It was a ground out victim last time Tanaka's ready Here comes the first pitch There's a shin high slider And laid off for a ball Two out nobody on Hard on the ground towards short Torres scoops it up Throw on to first gets him Here comes Dehaar Nothing across here this half On now to the top of ending number four The Yankees are out in front Two to nothing Back now here at Rogers center And here's Heidi Thanks Matt, I talked with the Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's Offensive performance so far And overall he's really happy with the At-Bats they're putting together It's still pretty early in the game But they've seen a lot of pitches already And the quality of the At-Bats they're putting together All right Heidi, thank you New ending set to get underway And striding forward The designated hitter Gio Arcella First pitch of the At-Bat On its way And he lays off there One and oh Arcella A Colombian born ball player He's a five year vet at the major league level Swing and a liner But foul One one Is looked at for ball number two He can't catch the corner here so he's behind Three and one To be honest with you, I'm a little bit more afraid The guy on deck, the guy that's up right now If I'm on the mound, I want this guy up right now He's the guy that's gotta beat me And he lays off there ball four So the lead off man is on here to begin stands In number four And that'll bring up Glibertura He's 0 for one after grounding out Glibertura in his only trip to the plate so far Yeah Matty, expect this pitcher To try and get the same result That's his last at-bat right here The double play is in order Anything on the ground the way this defense is They could certainly roll two The 0-1 And this ball is heading for the seats down the right side As the count will move to 0 and 2 now Two runs, five hits And no errors for the Yankees so far Good job to spoil that one away And he stays alive Got there as the count goes to 1 and 2 Working for the punch out and the offering Still a ball and two strikes Change of speed there But it's taken for a ball two and two This is a fun guy to watch When he's up there really battles Doesn't take any pitches off he's a grinder Always seems to make it difficult On the opposing pitcher And he takes ball three so it's a full count now You can certainly tell At-bats like this one You've got to go straight the heck out of the pitcher But you've got to find a way to stay composed And execute your plan He leaves another one over the plate And this ball is driven to left And for the third time tonight He has served up a home run It's a two run shot to straight away left Number 18 for him on the campaign As the Yankees start to pull away A bit it's now four to nothing We've seen these guys go deep three times So far in this one guys DeRose some days the fellas walk in With their hitting shoes on and this looks Like one of those games There's a saying going around the dugout right now There's a fight at the bat rap Everybody wants a chance to get into that batter's box Here's the second baseman DJ LeMay here Popped him up, tell it Is there Makes the play one away Alright so time now for the Blue Jays Road to the show report As we see a couple of prospects The high levels in the upper minors Standing in now Tyler Wade As he will take strike one On the fast ball here no balls in a strike One for one after a single His first time up Into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 And some action now in the Toronto bullpen As a right-hander starts to get loose Four runs, six hits And no errors for the Yankees so far And he lays off for a ball Two and one On the corner two and two Two balls, two strikes a crucial count For both pitcher and hitter So Dan what was your approach on the mound In that county is still pitch for the strike Out here Action pitch right here 2-2 Last thing you want to do is to fall behind the count 3-2 And the off-balance throw beats him at first And that's a tough play Miguel And Buhar So coming to the plate Miguel Anduhar Comes in one for two with that Home run he hit earlier First pitch of the at-bat Count 1-0 That's a good take on a fast ball out of the zone Hey I get it he's looking for A ball to drive but that ball was a little bit Too far up in the zone That's one you normally pop right up Won't bite at that point either it's 2-0 This offense is absolutely Feasting on these count leverage situations If he's going to have any chance Of feeling good about his effort tonight This pitcher has got to get back into strike zone 3-0 now I wouldn't be surprised If he had the green light here Matter of fact I know he's got the green light here He's looking for something set or cut And he's looking to do damage Fast ball taken but that gets The zone for a strike A pretty aggressive pitch right there Up in the zone surprise he didn't offer at it And it's up to a 3-2 Full count now Already 24 pitches to this point In the inning and a fast ball Call strike 3 and the side is Retired Yankees get a couple on the two run Home run bottom of the fourth Coming up it's now a 4-0 New York lead Looking in for his second at-bat Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He'll try to follow up the double in his last At-bat with another big hit right here Baseball left in this one as we're still Early on but you don't want to fall too far behind They're already down by a bundle And one of the things you want your leadoff guy to get on And set the table for the big boys To start driving in some runs One ball no strikes to count Here it comes 1-0 Sneaks a fast ball by him at the Letters it's 1-1 Now pitch on the way And he'll turn to the slider here And it just misses 2-1 now I don't blame him for not coming over the heart Of the plate he circled this guy on the line-up Card when he got to the yard today He's been swinging one of the hotter bats in the game The 2-1 Is taking ball 3 Hey throwing the ball great up into this point Don't want to allow a leadoff walk Needs to just focus in on his mechanics right here And that misses for ball 4 It's a leadoff walk that starts the bottom of the fourth Well they haven't been able to scratch a run across yet So maybe this walk will jumpstart their offense a little bit So now it'll be the four hole giver Lourdes Gouriel First pitch of the at bat on its way Boy not exactly what you'd like as a pitcher One of the keys is to minimize your pitches Attack the strike zone early A lot of deep counts And working himself into a lot of trouble Nobody outrunner on first Just does manage to get a piece there As this is bounced foul Gets a small piece near the plate That goes foul Two strikes on him now Towards second A bare hand for one On to first and it's a double play The second they've hit into in these first four innings And there are two away now Nice job on the mound to bounce back from the leadoff walk Those are usually pretty costly But that won't be the case this time After the two ball So base is empty now after the double play And next will be a speed thread In the form of outfielder Tiosker Hernandez And a fastball is in there for strike one And they go away here it's a called strike Nothing in two Down 0-2 Maybe simplify the game plan right here Get on the heater Even though he has five weapons to go to Bases are empty here with two men out And a fastball swung on and missed As they set him down for the second time Here tonight Nothing doing for the Blue Jays On the short end of a four nothing score In now for the Yankees Aaron Judge he launched one over the wall Back in the opening frame Aaron First pitch on its way Changed up on him and dropped it in for a called strike Well he's still out there to start the fifth inning But it's been a real grind of a start for him The pitch count is much higher than he'd like it to be So it's hard to imagine him working Really deep into this game Barely able to make contact down 0-2 now And this is swung on and missed And the American League's leading hitter Is gone on strikes one away I'll tell you he's showing no signs of tiring right now Still looks razor sharp from what I could tell So I think he might last a while longer If he can keep this up Giancarlo Stanton This will take a look at his strike On the outside corner it's 0-1 He's 0-1 thus far And it's 1-1 If you're going to have success against Some of the better hitters in the game You've got to get that pitch right there 0-2 he's almost certainly out 1-1 he's got a chance to really do some damage Faces are empty one man out Hit in the air to straight away center After it is McKinney He gets there and makes the play For the second out of the inning Now batting The catcher Gary Sanchez He's hitless in his two at bats so far Drops in a strike to start the at bat Nothing in one Into the corner and slicing foul The wind up and the 0-2 pitch He struck him out His seventh of the ball game And that ends the inning So the Yanks go 1-2-3 But they hold a 4-0 lead Welcome back for the bottom of the fifth Here's Heidi Watney Thanks Matt In between innings I was able to catch up With the manager of the Blue Jays To discuss his thoughts on his team's line up so far And he said they just aren't putting enough Competitive at bats together right now He told me he can't recall many times Where they've been able to get to a full count today And while that's not always a necessity for success They've clearly had their struggles today Especially when it comes to making things Difficult on the opposing pitching Good stuff Heidi thanks Randall Gritchick at the plate now Leads off in the bottom of the fifth As they look to break through on the scoreboard Yeah baseball is a game of adjustments And it's time they start making some They don't need to change their entire approach Necessarily But now is maybe when they start thinking About ways to get the guy in the mound Out of his rhythm a bit And this one's nowhere close Is at bounces to the plate for ball one That misses 2-0 They obviously circled him before the game That they were not going to let him beat them Walked him this first time up And now they're nibbling again With a splitter here 2-1 Lifted in the air out towards left center Center fielder giving chase He gets there to make the play For the first out of the inning So still nothing against him On the scoreboard here in the fifth As we check out the league leaderboard For team ERA And you can see that this staff Currently leads the AL in that category Ready for another chance Reese McGuire he singled his last time up First pitch of the at-bat McGuire a 25 year old He's in his third season as a major league player The plate one ball one strike From the wind up the 1-1 pitch Now a good pitch around the knees But it doesn't quite catch the bottom of the zone 2-2 He hasn't thrown that pitch much all game I gotta believe as an offense You just gotta throw that pitch away And move on to the next one And a fastball swung on and missed As he just reared back there Two away I'll tell you right now This guy has his shutout going And it's been all business He's not messing around Trying to pick at quarters He's being aggressive in the zone And he's attacking each and every one of these hitters Up to this point That'll bring up Billy McKinney As he lay off a slider too low Ball one Comes into this at-bat 0 for 1 in the ballgame Tanaka into his motion Here's the 1-0 Two tight with that one 3-0 Well, he knows it But this is the kind of guy You just have to go right after He's not the biggest threat with the bat So it's time to challenge him right here Swinging on 3-0 Now three balls in a strike 3-1 A shot to first base And caught there to end the inning 1-2-3 go to Blue Jays They trail here 4-0 Tenor Roark Takes over to start the 6th inning on the mound Number 14 Tanner Stepping up to the plate Mike Tuckman He'll try and get things started As we begin inning number six He's ready Here's the first offering Is laid off for ball two I'm seeing him just a little too amped up Out there right now That's common with hard throwers like him Running a blazing fastball up there is great But if you can't harness it What good does it do you? Thickens here 3-0 Giorg Shella will be next Fastball on the inner third taken for a strike Tough pitch to lay off but he did And it's ball four So the lead off hitters are bored to start the 6th And that's what you want from your lead off hitter Show some great patience and discipline Making the pitcher labor to start the game The result is a lead off walk And a chance to make some early noise Coming to the plate now Giorg Shella is set in the pitch And there he goes toward second Offered at missed Here's the throw Skips in and he's safe Close play but he's in there Boy this at bat is not starting off well As he's behind 0-2 now Oh I love that pitch right there Up and in Jam sandwich Now here's a comebacker back to the mound And an unproductive at bat that time As the runner holds it second with one away now That's the shortstop Labor Torres will stand in again as we flash you back here To the fourth inning This was a two run homerun That was definitely one of the big blows Of the ball game to this point First pitch coming here it is He went deep earlier So that might have been a little bit of a message They were trying to send it Get him off the plate at the very least They're clearly trying to get him From getting his arms extended again No offer on that one Two balls and a strike One out and a runner on second base Fouled away Tough curveball that time But he's able to make a little contact To keep this at bat going Swing and a miss And they'll dodge a major bullet that time Two away Two away now in the Yankee sixth And that'll bring in DJ LeMayhew Set here it comes Tried to check it in its own one A one pitch You can definitely tell what that foul off right there That he's picking up spin on this pitcher's off speed stuff Maybe expect a fastball on this next one One and two to DJ LeMayhew Stone cold take right there That fastball very well Could have sent him packing back to the bench Just a bit low Tough call but it's two and two Good job to lay off that one-two breaking ball Put himself right back in its at bat Two-two Hit sharply on the ground And that is through in the center field A base hit Now a long throw home But it's offline so the run will score There's a good job of battling right there D-roll Pitcher had the advantage Two outs, two strikes You're one pitch away And boy what a terrific piece of hitting right there Yeah that's a great job right there Some guys are not afraid to hit with two strikes They'll take that pitcher deep into count Feeling comfortable about it That's the type of hitter this guy is And he was able to come through The plate now Tyler Wade This will take a look at a slider here That finds the zone for strike one A hit and two tries for him so far On its way the 0-1 pitch Low of the fastball here In the dirt even Hits ball one And this one's in the dirt Runner holds as the count moves to two and one As a look now the pitch Rolled slowly to first Reigned in And he'll step on the bag himself And the inning is over A run a hit and a man left Nine one and two Scheduled a hit in the home half Of the sixth The Yankees lead this one Five to nothing Now in the box Kevin Vigio He'll start things out in the sixth For a lineup that really Has it found its groove in this one Yeah only two hits so far Matt And not very many hard hit balls either We'll see if they can start Making some adjustments Ready with the first pitch Here it comes And a high strike to begin the at bat It's 0-1 Hey it's not always about filling up The strike zone all the time Every inning He's pitching well as we're moving into The middle innings But interestingly Less than 50% of his first pitches Have been for strikes And it's one and two To two balls and two strikes now Here now the 2-2 Is swung on and missed He got him In total control out there tonight Gets the lead off guy With a strike out there And it just seems like We've seen so many off balance swings And weakly hit balls in this one Rowdy Tellez the next to bat And he'll take a look at a high strike That time it's nothing in one 0-2 from him so far in this one He's off for ball one Hey I hope that call doesn't throw him Off his game right here He's been pitching one heck of a game And I'd hate to see the umpire Get in his head right now On half nobody on And he comes back with a fastball One and two now Not likely to see a fourth fastball In this situation I'm going to eliminate the fastball If I'm at the plate right here Now here's a comebacker Back to the mound And he'll just flip this on to first For the second out of the inning Now batting The designated hitter Now batting Bo Bechet He was a ground out victim last time up On its way is pitch number 75 On a line that's a base hit And they keep the inning alive with a base hit But you can see that's only the third hit He's given up the entire game So he's still in total control out there Now at the plate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It was a walk in his last trip John its way Popped him up LeMayhew Over to his left And that's the third out So it's no runs on a hit No errors in a man left Seventh inning coming up The Yankees lead it Five to nothing Seventh inning ready to roll And striding into the plate It'll be Miguel M. Doohar Now here it comes He laid on the fastball for strike one Looked like he was going to wait him out See if he was going to come over the heart of the plate Well, news flash He is And this hitter is going to adjust his batting gloves And he better be ready in the box There's strike two as the hanging slider was let go And now the Blue Jays get a left-hander up And throwing in their bullpen He's ready Here's the 0-2 pitch Now a flare out toward right center Bijir On to the grass He gets to it and makes the catch for the first out Boy, he showed some pretty good range Heading pretty deep into the outfield To bring that one down Thought the outfielder might call him off But he clearly had it under control Aaron Judge He went down on strikes last time up First pitch coming, here it is Your idea of working the count goes out the window You're frustrated right now Down 0-2 got to find a way to grind Nothing in two count and the pitch Got him And he goes down on strikes for the third time This is the kind of a bat where your hitting coach grabs you On the way back to the dugout To have a little chat about your approach Not a lot of positives to draw from that at bat When you take two strikes and then you Chase one out of the zone to go down on only three pitches So now to the plate Giancarlo Stanton As he'll take a cold strike here on a borderline pitch At strike one No hits to this point The wind up and the 0-1 Missed low and inside with it one and one Two out, nobody on A ball and two strikes now Protecting with two strikes Went out of the zone that time But he stays alive And another foul ball Again a 1-2 Here's a fastball in on the fist And that'll even things up at 2-2 These are the great matchups that happen Throughout the course of the game I don't think as a pitcher you can give in right here He's a great hitter at the plate He knows it, you know it Keep executing, maybe get him to roll something over This one sinks low and a touch outside It's a full count, 3-2 Hey, this guy's a hard guy to put away He's following off some tough pitches 2-2 count and he just seems to keep hanging right in there Hit in the air out to center field McKinney is going to have room out there As he puts this away to retire the side 1-2-3 go to Bombers They hold a 5-0 lead And now the Toronto number four hitter Mortis Gouriel He's 0-2 in the ballgame so far Starting to run out of time They haven't been able to score any runs As we're moving late into this one A perfect time for this lead-off guy To try to get on base and ignite a rally One ball, no strikes to count There's a belt high strike to even the count At 1-1 Very rarely does a pitcher like this Leave one in a location like that That's a pitcher right there He'd like to have back He'd love to swing at that one again From the wind up, the 1-1 pitch Well out in front of the breaking ball There for a strike His slider's been impressive all night long If he can continue spinning it like that He's going to be just fine Swing and a miss on the fastball And that's the first out That was a good job tying him up Inside on that strikeout pitch It wasn't even in the strike zone But with the hitter protecting with two strikes That's the kind of pitch you can get him to offer at And he's probably not going to do much with it When he does make contact So that'll bring in Taosker and Andes As Tanaka jumps ahead of him here At strike one Oh for two for him to this point He misses with it 1-1 Faces her empty one man out Had him off stride that time And it's 1-2 You could just see this guy out on the mound right here Just the body language He knows he's on top of his game Executing a nasty slider down the way right there Giving this offense no chance Well off the inside that time As the sinker misses for a ball Interesting sequence of pitches right there A real ugly swing on a ball away And it looks like the batter has a much better idea Of what he's looking for after that second pitch Seared down the first baseline But that finds its way through for a base hit He's through first and hustling for second And he is in at second base with a one out double Here's the fourth hit of the game And it's a good one Puts a good swing on this thing And it goes for a double We'll see if they can build on it here Digging in once again Randall Gritchick And his guys are looking to erase that Donut on the scoreboard with the runner In scoring position Yeah man they've been really shut down So far in this one They've had runners on base But haven't been able to string anything together Here comes the first pitch We're moving right along into this one This guy's continuing to pitch well Which is a little bit of a surprise Because his first pitch strike ratio Is still under sixty percent All over that one But a little out in front foul ball He holed up in time A look down And no he went around At strike three Now that Ready once again Reese McGuire One for two He singled and struck out in two trips From the stretch Here's the pitch All one no strike Lays off one and oh Hold it Two and oh Now you can see He's working around this guy right here Why not First base is open Walk wouldn't be the worst thing in this spot To knock up pauses Here's the two oh Two out here in a runner at second And he lays off again Ball three Time to wake up the offense right here Three one count All in on something over the heart of the plate Swing and a hard hit ball Down the line in right And now it'll rattle up against the wall To throw into second But he'll get in there with an RBI double He was on cruise control the entire game But he gets brought back to reality here And RBI double gets them on the board And now that they've broken the dam We'll see if they can generate some more runs Going forward To the plate now Billy McKinney And he'll take a look at ball one He's hit listen is too at bat so far Needed to lay off that pitch upstairs But it's one and one Double barreled action in the Yankee Bowl pen now A lefty and a right-hander start to get loose Count is one and two now At misses and we're even at two and two Boy that was an awfully close pitch right there I know a bomb on the mound I want that pitch called the strike That's one of those that could go either way Free balls and two strikes to the Blue Jays Center fielder Next pitch will be number 100 for him now Through six and two thirds At misses ball four So it's first and second now with two out Second baseman Ready for another shot now Kevin Vigio He struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate Yeah kind of shocked he got blown away with a fastball You could tell he was late on that one And we'll see if he tries to cheat to something this big Hit hard on the ground towards second He's got it Quick throw to Torres to retire the side A run for the Jays thanks to the RBI double Seven complete here tonight It's now a 5-1 ball game And to begin the eighth And now it will be the catcher Gary Sanchez Gary First pitch coming here it is Into his wind up here comes the 1-0 Swing and a miss as he ramps up on the fastball 1-1 where this one almost in the books The story was clearly the long ball What are your thoughts on this offense fellas Well Matty V I don't know what your thoughts are D-roll But boy when the weather starts to warm up And the ball starts jumping out like this It's clear that the pitchers need to start making better pitches Yeah just great approach no one really chased today Really stayed staunch on their ability to get that pitcher To come into the heart of the plate and they did damage with it He's falling behind now 3-1 And just when you needed a shut down inning A lead off walk was certainly not on the agenda He needs a bear down right here Into his motion here comes the 3-1 High in the air down the right field line And foul it's fouled away 3-2 one more time Is a wave and a miss he struck him out And look there at the starter comparison Telling the story of the ball game One guy still going and pitching well The other one long since departed for the showers Standing in Mike Tuckman A hidden two at bats for him at this point in the ball game Ready to deliver here's the first pitch Nope that fell The 1-0 Misses ball two No one out 5-1 our score as we play the eighth Outside 3-0 now There's a fastball on the inner third taken for a strike The 3-1 And he fouls this one off Battle here this will be the seventh pitch coming up Another one sent foul Looked like he was cheating a heater right there A little bit too far out in front Got to find a way to keep his hands back And he can only battle for so long As he's finally set down here after an 8-pitch at bat Looked to me like he had the right idea With the swing on that pitch And he just didn't get the back through the zone in time The pitch was away he let it get deep Maybe trying to take it the other way But it got too deep and was by him By the time his barrel could get in the correct position In now George Shella As he would look at a first pitch fastball for ball one The bases are empty here with two men out Broken bat as this ball is hit on the ground And he'll step on the bag himself And the inning is over Yanks go 1-2-3 They lead this one though 5-1 Tommy Keenley is on the pitch out of the bullpen In the bottom half of the eighth Bottom of the inning now And here comes the first baseman It doesn't look very promising so far in this one As we move into the later innings Down by a bundle It's time to get some base runners And hopefully a long ball to get them back into this one First offering on its way Oh had him chopping at that one It's nothing in one And it looks like the Yankees will have a left-hander up And throwing in the bullpen Set to deliver the 0-1 Just a bit high with the fastball But didn't get the call Below the zone a swing and a miss The 1-2 Bo Bechet is on deck Too close for Comfort and he did a good job Just to make contact And this is taken here for ball four So the leadoff man is on base To kick off the home eighth Digging in and looking for more Bo Bechet has got a hit in three At bats to this point Kicks and deals Swing and a miss and he's behind 0-1 Got to believe the pitcher's going to trust his defense Right here Look for something down in his zone To induce a ground ball double play He's ready here's the 0-1 That's over but low it's a ball and a strike A runner at first with no outs here And they'll go off speed here As this pitch misses it's 2-1 Keenley has over 40 innings on his line so far And in that time he's allowed Just barely over a base runner per inning Which of course is very good Now the 2-1 Is a change up that's looked at for a ball Got to find a way to get back in his zone I know you're in danger of losing both to walks But certainly don't miss over the heart of the plate And have this guy gap one Or even worse hit a two run homer The 3-1 Swung on and missed and that's a full count Now three balls and two strikes Everything this guy throws is hard That change up he throws is in the high 80s To go along with that good heater Hit back up the middle Torres at the back On to first and that's the very last thing They needed at this point in the ballgame As there are quickly two away now Final line there for the Yankees Starting pitcher he was great all night long Matty V really a solid performance Seven strong innings pitched In line for the win need some help For the bullpen to close this one out The box Vladimir Guerrero Jr. And there's a swing and a miss At an off speed pitch to start him out Nothing in one He's working on a one for two games so far In front of the change up and he can't keep it fair Two strikes on him now Hard hit ball to second And eight innings have come and gone now As the inning is over Down in order go to Blue Jays They're down five to one Sam Gavilio enters from the pen To start the ninth inning as he'll try To keep the score right where it is Heading to the bottom of the ninth Gavilio Striding into the box Torres he's working on a one for three Thus far First offering on its way Ball Ball in a strike One in one And a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it For a ball Into the wind up Here's the two in one pitch This pitch misses here That's ball four And they've got a lead off base runner Of board to start the ninth Now that The first paper And that sends DJ LeMayhew into the box So far two for three in this one Comes set Here's the nothing and nothing pitch And he lays off a pitch here That he probably shouldn't have Oh and one Yeah he made up his mind early To take the first pitch Because that thing was right down the middle Off the plate One ball One strike Stands six two and throws from the right side He was a fifth round pick back in 2011 And nothing has been handed to this guy Drafted in the middle rounds And he has found his way into big leagues This has turned out to be a really nice pick One and two now as that one's fouled off Now the pitch Tough pitch to lay off there but he did And it's even up at two and two Nobody outrunner on first Count as that misses it's three and two now High and deep to left This one's got plenty of distance Gaw It's a two run shot to straight away left Seven home runs for him on the year now As it's now a six run ball game To the box now Tyler Wayne As the first pitch misses to him It's ball one He was retired via the ground ball Last time up The 1-0 home This hitting really feels like it's Getting away from him out there As a reliever As a reliever You can't let that happen Nothing you can do about what's already Happened And it's only going to get worse If you're not focusing on the guy In the batter's box From the wind up the 2-0 pitch Now a change up but it misses Just a little below the zone No outs nobody on And he takes ball four So a good job out of the nine hole Than getting on base as we go back To the top of the order What's the saying When you find yourself in a hole The first thing you should do is stop Digging Well the guy on the bump Obviously hasn't heard that one So the batting order turns over now And set to go Miguel Andujar It was a fly out for him In his last trip Almost Maddy Almost went deep his last A-B Certainly just missed it With this guy's big power He's feeling pretty good at the dish Look for him to try and get on something And drive it out of the yard this A-B 1-0 the count The pitch Now he gets the ground ball to first This might be two On to first to complete the double play That's one of the hardest double plays To turn right there because of The difficult throw the first basement has to make No problem this time though And they get the two outs they were looking for Stepping in and ready for another shot Aaron Judge He launched one over the wall Back in the opening frame First pitch coming here it is Well thrown sinker that time down But in the strike zone Two out nobody on Swing and a miss on the slider And he's quickly behind nothing in two Hey that's a huge double play to settle Everybody down right now Giving up a few early runs Let's see if he can get out of this inning and regroup Protecting on 0-2 so we'll do it again Nothing in two count and the pitch Now a swing and he gets him to pop it up Coming in as Hernandez But he can't make the play as it finds The outfield grass The tag and they'll get him at second And with that the side is retired Yankees get a couple on the two run home run Last chance coming up for the Blue Jays It's the Yankees seven And the Blue Jays one Ben Heller a right handed reliever Standing 6-3 gets the ball now out of the bullpen Ben Heller Standing in now It's Mordis Gouriel As he can't catch up on a fastball The letters and it's strike one He could really use a knock here 0-3 in the game so far Popped him up Mamehue has a play One away So digging in now To Oscar Hernandez First offering on its way And some action out in the Yankee bullpen now As the right hander starts to loosen up The wind up and the 0-1 Big swing and a miss at the fastball And he's behind in the count 0-2 Got him And that's the third time we've written a K Next to his name in this one It's so hard to hit when you're behind the count 0-2 right You have to protect for the fastball You have to look for the soft stuff down in a way You're really at a disadvantage When you fall behind 0-2 Stepping in now Randall Gritchick As the first pitch to him Runs a bit inside for ball one 0-2 from him so far in this one The 1-0 His fastball taken high for a ball Got himself a 2-0 fastball there But he couldn't connect 2-1 This pitch is bringing it with some high V-Low You better get that front foot down early And get ready or he's going to throw it right by you 3-1 to him now Bases are empty here with two men out And this will be a called strike 2 And trouble now is they're down to their final strike tonight Final strike for the Blue Jays This is foul right side Heller has tossed over 30 innings so far this season And through those innings he's worked to a whip Under 1.2-0 League averages around 1.3 So that's a respectable number Has him down to their final strike Here it comes And that misses for ball 4 That is just a great at bat there When you're down late You need base runners any way you can get them And that never say die mentality Could be the difference We'll see how it plays out Trying to pick things up where he left off Reese McGuire And we'll see if they can make him pay For the 2-out walk Always considered a big no-no of course First pitch on its way In there no balls in his strike 2-out with the man at first Lying to the right side In there a base hit But it will go no further than second As there are 2 aboard now This guy's obviously seeing a ball right now That's another hard hit single 3-4 right there He's looking super solid at the play Digging in Billy McKinney And these guys are making a little push here You have to like the effort despite the odds Yeah you really do Matt Look they still have a significant hill to climb But hey They string a couple of hits together here And all of a sudden this thing feels doable From the stretch And he just misses inside with the fastball there Got to find a way to execute Either a good fastball down the way Or flip something off speed for a strike You cannot miss over the harder plate In these situations The hitter is on high alert And he'll lay the fastball in here To get the count back to 2-1 Back him off a bit with the fastball in But it's 3-1 now 2-1 2-out with the base open here as a pitcher You have to be awful careful You just don't want to groove something here And give this guy a pitch And he can hit one out of the park on Fouled away Two men are on with two men out And he misses with it for ball four So the bases will be loaded now with two away I think he was trying to be a little too fine there And a walk is the result Well the good news is He has a force at every base The bad news A single probably drives in a couple of runs With the plate, Kevin Vigio He's hitless in three at-bats to this point First pitch of the at-bat Bull right down The 1-0 Hit hard on the ground toward second He's right there Throw on to first And the Yankees Have taken game one of the series on the road As the ball game is over Well this game had its moments But it got a hand pretty quick Always nice when you can coast to a six-run win Save your closer for another day And let everyone in on the action Seven-one, a final score in tonight's So the Bronx bombers get the win On the heels of four home runs Masahiro Tanaka earns his league best Fourteenth win So that's a wrap here tonight For Mark DeRosa, Dan Plzak
