Yankees vs. Blue Jays Game Highlights (6/27/24) | MLB Highlights

One of the nice things about this ballpark is even when it's raining, they get a game in here , unlike some other places that the Blue Jays have been to. But isn't it nice on this Thursday night on the mound for the Blue Jays making his seventh start of the season. Jose is coming off back to back starts against the mighty Cleveland Guardians and he is allowed nine earned runs over 11 innings. Anthony Volpi stands in to start. Tonight's game starts the game off with a single to center field, a two strike swing. If you ever saw one, this has popped up and it's a play for Ernie Clement getting a start at third base tonight in foul territory, lifts a high fly ball to right springer back in the corner has room and makes the catch for the second out and he's so strong, Joe, even when he doesn't get it, it's going to carry to the warning Tres. So a couple of men on for the Yankees with two down and here is a 25 year old rookie named Ben Rice. This is his ninth major league game swing and a pop up back of third long run, Clement into left field and he reaches out last second and makes the catch almost gave up on it. Like he thought Schneider was coming in there but a late stab from Ernie Clement and he makes the play, carlos Rodon on the bump tonight. Tough time against Boston and Atlanta. 13 runs, 12 earned against those two clubs and is aboard on the first pitch here in the bottom of the first hit it sharply and that should go as a base hit. He got a bit of his glove on it , but that should be a single for Bache. The Blue Jays set up here with 1st and 2nd. Nobody out. The Blue Jays looking for a first inning lead here is Guerrero guerrero breaks the bat and it's a fair ball. Bache's going to come in to score IKF to third and that's not a typical double for Vladimir Guerrero Junior, but it'll work just fine. Vlady has been an RB I machine lately and they've come off of missiles off his bat. We won't put this one in that category, but he will take it and the Blue Jays will take it for an early lead. That slider runs in on his hands. They've got 2nd and 3rd. Nobody out infield is in for the Yankees and the batter is Justin Turner. Huge shot grounder stays fair down the first baseline, it's rolling and it's off the bag. They don't get him at 1st 1st baseman Ben Rice was tracking it the whole way. IKF came in to score it tight rope the chalk and hit the bag. It's an RB I single for Turner up to third guerrero two Blue Jay. You want the exit velocity on that one, don't care. Two Blue Jays at Rogers center 1st and 3rd. Nobody out. George Springer. Springer hits it a long way to left field gone and five batters in it is five to nothing for the Blue Jays. George Springer leaned into a fastball in Odon is coming at me with the heater. He's going to continue coming at me with the heater and it's middle ended. Did he ever get the barreled to that way? We haven't seen a lot of that this season. So, a hit batter and a walk this inning and two on with one out for Springer swing and a fly ball left center and George Springer has done it again. That one into the Westjet flight deck. It's a two homer game for Springer. He has six RBIs in two innings. Eight nothing Blue Jays Bacon home run 250 for Springer and he got it with an exclamation 0.434 feet. Well, that might be his best swing of the season. He got a fastball right down the middle from carlos Rodon and he smoked that thing. He knew it was gone right off the bat, the top of the order, Bechet who got up twice in the first inning, singled and scored and also struck out. Here's a couple of Hopper here to the third baseman, bare hand pickup by cabrera nice play and throws him out on a two hopper on the artificial turf. Cabrera picked it up with his bare hand throws Bechet out. This guy's probably been the steadiest guy of anybody on the team. Volpe bounces it across. Not in time. That's now an 11 game hitting streak for kind of, that's the longest by a Blue Jay this season. Chops one to third, should be two on to second for one. And there is a 543, double play , 22 on the way. It is a call strike three on the outside corner. So Turner goes down looking here's Trent Grisham grounded into a fielder's choice. His first time pitch is popped up fairly deep left Schneider back on the run near the wall. It is gone. Goodbye. Oh Mr make it count. Trent Grisham hits yet another opposite field home run and the Yankees break the ice. They're on the board two run shot for Grisham. It's 82 Blue Jays in the fifth, his fifth home run of the year, an opposite field shot for the first out and Aaron Boone is going to let Carlos Rodon leave on a positive note finishing on a strikeout after another tough outing. It looks like he wants another batter. Aaron Boone saying All right. Fine. You stay in there, you got it. But wait a minute, Bickford is jogging in from the bullpen. He assumed he was coming in but Boone never made the signal. I want it and he wants to try to finish the inning and Boone's going to give him a chance. Bta Jones at second in the fly is called two away, 12 grounded hard to short volpe plays it on the back and flings it to second Jones covering makes the put out and Carlos Rodon completes five. Aaron Judge leads it off the yanks with Campton tonight has flied out to right and grounded to second the appeal again and he went as Clint Van Dr down at first. So Barillo strikes out judge strikeout number five on the night for Barrios and he got him back to back strikeouts. Now, guerrero who is one for three had an RB I double and scored a run in the first and a strike three and two flatty says Nola was right, Jimmy high fly ball to deep left. It is carrying on the previous pitch, hits it out towering to left field and in the dugout just said to him on the way by I thought you wanted your walk and he just, he happily traded that walk for a home run. That's a good trade up in the air. You can see how far out front that he caught that 93 mile per hour. Jose Mario is indeed back in there to begin the seventh inning with the Blue Jays up 9 to 2 and he strikes out austin Wells number seven on the night for Barrios next pitch to Grisham swing and a miss on a breaking ball in the dirt. That's strike three. Jose Barrios strikes out a pair in a 1237. He's got eight K's and gone seven innings. Joe Francis is in bounds. Been waiting for his turn. He was ready to come in after Yael Rodriguez in Boston before that rain last night, but he hasn't pitched this last Friday in Cleveland when he came in after Yael could not get out of the second inning. This one's popped up should be playable territory to make the catch. And that's your ball game as the Blue Jays open up the four game series with the Yankees with an emphatic 9 to 2 win.
