Yankees vs. Blue Jays Game Highlights (5/15/23) | MLB Highlights

And here comes a guy who has had a lot of success in his relatively brief major league career two plus seasons against the New York Yankees and the Blue Jays say John Schneider and Ross Atkinson company say they remain confident that the stuff is ticking up. It's about execution. And now the headliner battle if you will Manoa against Aaron Judge. High drive right field going back Springer turning looking Sia and his one nothing Yankees Aaron Judge has gone yard here in the top of the first off Alec Manoa. It is home run number nine. Aaron Judge takes advantage right away and he lines a ball to left center. That'll get down for a base hit. Not the batter Willie Calhoun left handed hitting D.H. High drive right center field going back Kiermaier turning looking Sia a two run home run for Calhoun. It is three nothing Yankees and the Yankees doing damage against the Toronto A's here in the first inning. That pitch was belt high. This is not Manoa that we saw last year. It's going to be Jimmy Cordero been solid for the Yankees out of the bullpen this year. High fly ball left field Bowers on the run on the track. He makes a play side retired in order by Jimmy Cordero. Welcome back to Rogers Center. Well you just never know who you're running to here at the home of your Blue Jays. It is Bill's superstar NFL quarterback Josh Allen. He's very humble. Welcome. I hear you this is your first visit here. First visit here. Yeah not not to Toronto. I love Toronto. The city's awesome. The food's fantastic. The people are great. There's nothing to not love about this. But yeah I'm excited for my first Blue Jays game. It's been a blast so far. I got to take some BP earlier shag some some balls in the outfield and it's been it's been a blast. You know I haven't been following baseball all that much but I'm trying to get back into it and obviously Toronto being such close proximity to Buffalo. Yeah it makes a lot of sense. I love the Blue Jays. I love baseball and I'm glad I got to be here today to outbase it for Aaron Hicks swinging a high fly ball center field. It's pretty deep. Kiermaier is on the track. He's near the wall. He leaps and he makes the catch. It wouldn't have gone out. Kiermaier went leaping in front of the baby blue line pulling down one would have been an extra base hit for Bowers and Dalton Varsha is going to lead it off line drive. Oh number one. Just on the other side of the bag and then moves and jumps. Great anticipation and athleticism driven out to left field on the run is Bowers and he makes the play. Nice play by Bowers defense supporting Cordero in this inning. Wasn't sure he was going to get there. I'm not sure he thought he was going to get there. As you see he's a little off balance almost jumped too soon but good coverage. There's Volpe to lead off struck out in the first line and it's a fair ball hit the line kicks off the sidewall Volpe's going for two. The throw is not in time. Alito double for Anthony Volpe and a walk second walk of Cabrera first and second. Nobody out. That'll bring up Higashioka line drive. It's a base hit to right field cutting it off his Springer. They're going to wave home Volpe. He will score moving to third is Oswaldo Cabrera. It's an RBI single for Higashi Yoka and it's for nothing Yanks. Well just outstanding back control from Kyle Higashioka who inside outs that fastball and he walked him to load the bases. So the count full against judge with the bases loaded here in the top of the fourth for nothing Yankees checks the swing. He does not go that a force in a run. Judge picks up another RBI Yankees pick up another run. It's five nothing. He's trying to keep this within striking distance down five zip up the middle. Bichette has it. There's one and two. And how badly did Alex Manoa need that way outside. With another pitch back to back walks in this fifth inning. He's not close right now. And that's going to be the end of the night and disappointing outing for sure. And now here comes John Schneider seven walks tonight. And that is a career high for the last two years. Been one of the best pitchers in baseball swinging a high fly ball out to deep left field Barshaw getting back at the wall squares up leaps into the air crashes into the video board making the play right as he backed and crashed into the scoreboard out there. But he makes the grab. The runners will advance line drive right field Springer's there tagging his Torres. He's not going to come home. The throw is cut off now second and third two outs. Now ground ball to third Matt Chapman has it and across the diamond to get Higashioka as Nate Pearson comes on to get three outs and strand the runners. The stolen base by Bowers opened up the first base bag and the Blue Jays said well a Pearson will not challenge Aaron Judge in this sequence. So Tim Meza will come on. This will be his 18th game. So first and second for Rizzo one man out line drive a base hit to right center field scoring easily as Bowers cut off nicely by Kiermaier that'll hold Judge at third. It's an RBI double for Rizzo and it's six nothing Yanks strike three called for out number two Torres thought it was inside weekly hit up the first baseline and Belt gets to it before it goes foul. Good play by Belt. Here's Judge perfect night home run three walks check swing at the slider. It's called a strike. I certainly thought that pitch was low. So did the Yankee dugout and Aaron Boone not happy with the strike call and got tossed. And when he's hot that's a crew chief James Hoy coming down from first base. So Clint Bondrack hearing it from Aaron Boone he certainly let him have a say got his money's worth fires the gum. Let's see the gum for what do you think about the delivery sidearm. Yeah good spin rate. So Boone will watch the rest of the game from his office and the at-bat will resume between Jackson and Judge deep drive center field. There is a monster shot over the batter's eye a solo home run for Judge and the Yankees lead seven nothing. It's hard to describe how far this really is. You can see Kiermaier and centerfield just looking up and where that landed up there. That guy did not expect to get a ball four hundred and sixty two feet. Sometimes you just watch him hit a baseball and you're just awestruck. Not a lot going tonight for the Blue Jays offensively. They've been shut out on three hits. That's a fair ball over the bag and down Matt Chapman will make the turn and glide into second with a double a little bloop in a center field. Good read by Chapman as it drops in RBI base hit by Witt Chapman comes in after his lead off double Merrifield has Toronto's first run driven in pulls one out to second. It's dropped but he is safe from his knees fires Torres as the runners move up they get Kirk on what looked like a ground ball that was going to be impossible for Torres to make a play on a little dribbler out in front of the plate. Brito from the mound fields no look at third and he threw it on a hop down to first Kiermaier is safe and the bases are loaded swung on ground ball toward short Volpe has it flips to second for one to first. It is not in time or one scores the Blue Jays score another run but the Yankees do get it out. It's now seven two Yankees Bichette does it again Belton to score Springer around the third and it's seven to three. The Blue Jays have scored three runs here in the eighth inning and they don't feel like slowing down right now swinging a line drive fading near the line base hit Springer is in to score Bichette racing to third Lottie digging for second and he'll slide in there. The Blue Jays little by little have climbed their way back into this game a four run eighth inning grounded to first Rizzo's there and King allows the Yankees to breathe a sigh of relief and the Blue Jays are down to their final out grounded to first. This should do it flips the King and the Yankees win seven to four. So they're open to strategy works to home runs by that guy one four hundred and sixty two feet.
