Yankees vs. Blue Jays Game Highlights (5/17/23) | MLB Highlights

Chris Bassett brings a 20 inning scoreless streak to the mound tonight but facing a team swinging the bats well hitting for a lot of power right now. Chris Bassett is on some hot run right now and this will be his ninth start of the season over his last seven starts the opponents of it just one thirty eight against him and for the second night in a row Gleyber Torres is the leadoff man for the Yankees. Here's a bouncing ball to short nice big hop for Boba Shett one down. So now Aaron Judge who hit two home runs on Monday night hit one last night two of the three have gone into the West Jet flight deck and straightaway center field a two to strike three on the outside corner. Judge thought that pitch was a little bit out. He might have been right. We have seen Chris Bassett and his command when he's got the command working and this is a four seam fastball that just finds the outside corner. Here's Anthony Rizzo Bassett ready the O2 swing and a miss got him with a high fastball and a one two three top of the first turned in for Chris Bassett. The Blue Jays head to the dish Garrett Cole the ace of the staff is going to face that lineup and it's been a great start to his year. So be his tenth game started just four home runs given up eighteen walks against sixty two case and now George Springer in the Blue Jays meet Garrett Cole power right hander rocks and fires the first pitch and it's hit hard to the shortstop backhanded by Cabrera on the first a high throw Springer crosses and he's safe. And it was a throw that Springer hustling out of the box put a little pressure. You see Cabrera took a little bit of time and he airmails the first baseman. So a baserunner one pitch into the bottom of the first. And here's Bo Bichette as a bouncer off the glove of Cole Rizzo the flip drop by Cole. But he is safe. That's about as difficult of a play as you can have for a pitcher. You just got to do everything you can to take advantage of these two errors here in the first day. Right. One one swing and a pop up writes out of the infield. In fact now moving toward the left LeMahieu coming down from third he'll make the catch in front of the mound swing and a miss right page to right page right pitch two on two out. Here's Brandon Belt lefty Pat and the pitch swing and a miss ninety nine. Blows it by Belt so he pitches around the defensive miscues to up and to set aside those score inning number two Harrison Bader the batter one Oh swing and a bouncer toward third and it goes off the glove of Chapman. He backed up on it and it rolls into left field. So some spotty defense all around here in the first two innings. So here's Willie Calhoun run a ghost pitches high throw it a second stolen base for Bader three twos outside its ball for and take your chances with Trevino the catcher. But he had three hits in the game last night and he got a fastball on the outside corner for strike three called he's come away with no runs on a hit they leave to move on to the bottom of the second when Merrifield will lead it off against Garrett Cole and Cole's first pitch is cracked in the air center field racing on Bauer Bader and he dives and he tumbles and he makes the grab Harrison Bader once again coming up huge on a low liner off the bat of Whit Merrifield there's one away here's Alejandro Kirk out of the line Cole in the one swing in a line drive up the left field line that's a base hit rippling into the corner kicks off the retaining wall Bowers will have to dig it out of the corner Kirk wants to go to second and he's in there runner at second here's Danny Jansen checks now to the plate swing and a miss strike three fastball at ninety eight and that is the third strikeout victim for Garrett Cole tonight Santiago Espinel bats for the first time tonight swing and a miss slider is not too bad. So that is four strikeouts for Cole back to back strikeouts here in the third inning. Aaron Judge public enemy number one ground ball up the middle and through for base hit two out single for Judge and that was an earned hit Rizzo retired the side put away. Now the Blue Jays are making a little noise. Blue Jays have loaded the bases. Hopefully the board right here at Roger Center changes quickly when Merrifield the batter against Garrett Cole 0 1 popped him up right side foul territory Rizzo venturing over near the side warning track he'll make the catch in foul ground. So when Merrifield pops out he leaves the bases loaded and Garrett Cole and the Yankees are out of the third inning. He's got a single to start off this fifth inning. Jose Trevino the batter swing at a high fly ball left center field for our show going back stepping onto the track makes the catch back at first and tagging Calhoun races towards second a deep fly ball enough to advance Calhoun 90 feet. Marcio did a good job racing back to his right handling that ball on the fly. Cabrera at the plate runner at second one out Cabrera swings and tips it off into the glove held by Kirk to down Pichet Torres swing at a line drive caught by Belt at first base position perfectly Torres place Pepper with Belt. He handles it on the line side retired to down to down here's Bowers Brown ball over to the right side shuffling over to his left picked up by Espinel lays it to first hours retired. So the Yankees hit batsman nothing more five and a half gone by still scoreless in downtown Toronto one down runner back at first base. So now Alejandro Kirk will come up up the middle. That's a base hit Belt will stop up at second and the Blue Jays have two men on with one out. And there's a number of the Blue Jays need to change Joe for six with runners in scoring position. That's why they've left seven men on the first five tonight. Somebody's got to come up with a big hit two on with one out for Danny Jansen. He's take another ground ball and they got it. There's one and there's two six shutout innings for Garrett Cole a pitcher's duel. Indeed Cole and Bassitt have hooked up and put zeros on the board. Chris Bassitt ready to work you down to two broken bat looper over towards first grab by Belt the baseline drop by Belt picked up by Bassitt reaches for the base runner and they got him. Wow what a play. And then as he reaches down picks up the baseball with his glove hand and Nick's the hip of Trevino. Well Garrett Cole is back out there. We'll see if he goes batter to batter as we start the bottom of the seven Blue Jays have back to back singles off of Cole. And here comes Aaron. That will be all the new pitcher is Clay Holmes Espinosa second Springer at first scoreless game bottom seven two away and a one one swing and a roller torch shortstop charging in Cabrera he'll throw on the run to first and it's in time and Clay Holmes gets all three batters he faces out of the bullpen and strands two runners two away. But now the winning run is 90 feet away. And here is Kevin Pizio and scoreless game bottom nine. The pitch popped in the air shallow center field Bader's under it. He's camping. Now he comes in a step and he makes the two handed grab and we are off to extras north of the border. I think if you're the Blue Jays this might be the perfect guy to have at the plate up the middle and it's first and third with nobody out. Now with one out Danny Jansen trying to be the hero. Danny Jansen with his second game winner of the season and an absolute no doubter as the Blue Jays pick up a badly needed win.
