Blue Jays vs. Yankees ALDS Game 3 Highlights (10/7/25) | MLB Highlights

I think everybody knew that the Blue Jays were good, right? They were the one seed, but they have looked unstoppable through the first two games. And it’s the face of the franchise, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., three hits and a home run in both games. Right now, there has been no stress for the Toronto Blue Jays. That’s what Aaron Boon’s offense can do to you if you get off to a good start. And that’s what they’re hoping tonight has. 18 wins for Odon this year, second only to Max Freed. He’s the hardest guy in the league to get a hit against, but he’s trying to slow down this hit machine offense. Yeah, I’ll say if he gets more than those strikeouts required, he’s going to be in for a good game. Cuz you mentioned it, hard to strike out the Blue Jays. And he is going to rely on a lot of different ways to get him out. He doesn’t throw a ton of strikes and he’s facing a challenged team that presents a challenge, I should say, by the fact that they don’t swing and miss a lot. So look for his change up and his slider to be key if he’s going to have success tonight. Second straight time he’s taken the ball with the Yankees facing elimination. He pitched game two of the wild card round against Boston. Went into the seventh inning, gave up three runs in a no decision and really has been good for the last two months. 10 consecutive starts where he’s pitched into the sixth and given up three or fewer runs. The Blue Jays one win away from their first trip to the championship series in nine years. The Yankees trying to come back from the brink again. Off we go. Strike out to begin for Carlos Rodon. Carlos has learned how to manage that intensity. He came out last year against the Royals and spent so much energy in the first couple innings, he ran out of gas. So that you learn from experience and that experience is going to pay off well if he can get six innings or more for Aaron Boon. The lefty’s payoff pitch is taken for ball four in this very aggressive lineup. Davis Schneider is one of the exceptions, one of the top walkers in the American League. Well, this is the matchup, right? This is all eyes on Vladimir Guerrero and what he’s done here, what he’s done against Rodon. I mean, the numbers are glaringly in his favor. 10 out of 17 in his career against Carlos Rodan on this 200. He swings and it’s a fly ball to deep center field. Gisham’s going back. He’s done it again. Vlad Guerrero Jr. has the Blue Jays in front in the first inning. his 17th career home run at Yankee Stadium. Unbelievable this guy. You can’t leave an offspe pitch over the plate. This offspe pitch is exactly what he did. He sat back. Watch where this pitch is. Off speed center cut, that swing and that pitch is the reason why you can lift it. He’s not a launch angle type guy. He’s not going to lift a lot of balls in the air, but that pitch and location helps him get the ball in the air and right away right on script. He has hard in all three games of this postseason. Marshall, it was four extra base hits in game two after he had two of them in the first game. So, he’s sitting at six for eight. All extra bases so far. Swinging this guy. So, two nothing Toronto leads. Not often, John, you have a Syan award winner who’s available at the deadline. But this was a tricky case cuz he was coming off Tommy John surgery. Hadn’t pitched in 500 days, but they got him and he’s been pretty darn good. And up comes Aaron Judge on base more than 50% of the time in this postseason, but he does not have a home run. He’s only driven in two. Yeah, Judge, you’d love to have him make a bigger impact, but he can’t do it himself. Nobody else around him has done anything either. Ropes a base hit to center field. That is the first base runner of the game for New York. Now, can they follow it up and do something right? Here’s Ben Rice. Grounded to second. Conor Fo can’t get it. And an air on Conor Fo opens the door for the Yankees here in the first. He’s one of the best defensive teams in baseball. And that’s one of the reasons Connor F is in the lineup for his glove, but it lets him down right here. Yeah, he did a good job blocking it with his chest. The ball took a hop, but then he couldn’t locate it in time to make the throw. Watch this right there. hits him in the chest and then he couldn’t pick it up and once he didn’t do that and you’re if you’re a break if you’re if you’re looking for breaks and you’re looking for something to turn no better chance than right now Stanton getting something soft in the zone and getting this crowd to erupt if he gets a breaking ball mediocre in the zone they could have the lead judge at second Rice at first one-two pitch line drive base hit left field Stanton comes through to get the Yankees on the board in the first judge in to score. They take advantage of the two out air on Coner Falafa. 2-1. And the reason that ball didn’t go over the fence, the breaking ball over the plate, but down. He’s a great breaking ball hitter in the zone. And that’s why I thought anything up, it would have been a three-run homer. But see how it’s down? He hits his head down. Stanford his third run knocked in the last game plus. Tying run into scoring position. Jazz Chisum to the plate. Runners get a head start. There they go. Here it comes. Chisum lofts a fly ball to shot of left field. Moving forward, Schneider arms in the air to call it. Backs up, makes the grab and that will do it for the bottom of the first. All right, so they do have to deal with Springer after those 32 home runs in the regular season, homered in the second game in Toronto. His 20th career postseason home run, which ties him with Derek Jeter for fifth all time. Popped up, playable right side. Rice is under it. Fair territory on the dirt. One hand catch. third out. Needed it. And it’s kind of that short arm delivery. And I I was just shocked when I saw that. Well, it’s a year and a half ago or two years ago when he was trying to pick his velocity back up. And oh, pick that bat back up as Vulpi goes down swinging. Third strike. He’s not going to need that for a bit for Anthony Vulpi. His ninth strikeout, his last 13 times up. The last time the Yankees were down in a series, game two last week against Boston. And this is the guy that had the game-winning hit in the eighth inning. Scoring Jazz Cheers him all the way from first base. He got him. Swinging a miss on a curve in the dirt. Bounced it near his back foot and it’s back to back punch outs for Beaver. Schneider and BP today. Everything he was trying to push to right center and he lines one to left and it’s down for a base hit. Bouncing into foul territory into the corner. Schneider around first and he will stop up at second with a leadoff double. First playoff extra base hit in Davis Schneider’s career. And the last thing the Yankees needed was a runner in scoring position with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. up. They’re not going to let Mr. Guerrero hit. They put him on and it brings up Daltton Vo struck out his first time. Six out of nine in this postseason. He’s got Schneider at second. Guerrero at first as this 1-1 from Rodan. Vo cracks it in the air to center field. Here comes Gisham. It will be a sliding try from Bellinger, but he couldn’t catch it. Schneider’s headed for the plate. Chisum throws late and he scores with a dive. No blink from the Blue Jays. Well, this is an incredible effort by Bellinger. He covered so much ground and just overreaches, catches the heel and then right here once he gets to third, he just keeps going and Jazz thinks there’s no way he’s going home and really never took a look and it was too late once he got the ball in. Blue Jays lead the majors in taking extra bases. Schneider takes one. Three to one here in the third. Playing the game, you can’t assume anything. It’s the one time of the year that you cannot assume anything’s going to go the way you think. Regular season, maybe get away with it. Well, Jazz Jazz thinks under no circumstances could he be going, right? And that’s the assumption part. And more times than not, he’d probably be right. Okay, there’s no thinking at all like what he’s going and by that time it’s too late. Another 02 and Clement hits it through the left side on the ground. A base hit. Vlatty getting the wave. Here comes the throw from Bellinger. It bounces in late. He’s safe. Up to third goes Vio into second. Clement. 4-1 Blue Jays with two more in scoring position. That was a really aggressive send from Carlos Fabless. Cody Bellinger doesn’t have a bad arm out there. He actually made a very good throw. really accurate to Austin Wells at home plate. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hustling around third. Dove in to home plate by about a half a step. What an aggressive play and what a smart play. The Blue Jays are running the bases really, really well right now. Second and third, one out and we can see action in the Yankee bullpen in right center. This is their season, so I don’t think they’re going to sit around and watch this much longer if the Blue Jays keep getting to Rodon. D first and into right. Baro’s in. Here comes Clement. Throw goes into second. It is six to one Toronto. It’s another two strike hit. It’s Anthony Santandere going the other way. And it’s Aaron Boon going to the bullpen with one out in the third. It’s gone from O Canada to oh boy to oh no. New York looking like they’re sitting on thin ice as these Blue Jays have kept on trucking. Six to one in game three as they look for the sweep. Venz who’s hit by pitches first time. Swing on hit to the right side. Jazz Chism right there. Second hop throws over the Rice and that’ll do it. Blue Jays put four on the board. Three and two count. Judge and Bellinger to follow. Down the line. That is a fair ball. Gisham’s headed for second. He says, “Don’t worry, Skip. He’ll take a double instead. A little bit of Justice maybe, and a leadoff hitter on base, which has not happened a lot. Only the third time in the series Yankees have gotten a leadoff man on. And in the playoffs, that matters. Scoring position, Aaron Judge. This crowd wants a loud noise right now. Judge rips one down the field line. That’ll get the job done into the corner. Gisham Jackson. Judge chugging for second with a double. That’s back to back doubles to open the third for the Yanks. at 62. I’m a big believer the more opportunities that Aaron Judge gets, the less the narrative will be talked about in the postseason. Yes, it’s been hyperfocused on him, but he’s swinging the bat pretty good in the regular season and they know the numbers will average out in the postseason. Now, Cody Bellinger, who’s been their best run producer this postseason on an 01 swats one into left center field that’ll sink down for a base hit. Three consecutive hits to open the third for the Yankees. And all you want to do if you’re the Yankees is pass the baton on. One at bat at a time. Crawl back in this game. Judge at third. Bellinger first. Rice bounces one to first. Guerrero’s looking home. He’s got Judge hung up. And now he’s in a run down. Kirk to third. Judge for the plate. Guerrero chases him. One star after another and he tags him out. into third goes Bellinger. Rice is still at first. Well, Guerrero Jr. with a heads up play comes home and they get the lead runner for the first out of the inning. Well, what’s interesting there and he did keep the run from scoring, but it could have been a double play, but a great job of base running by Aaron Judge to at least let Bellinger get back to third base. So, they have the same scenario now with one out. There is Sean Carlos Stan who knocked in the first run for the Yankees at the plate. Hebrew had a stand and two went out to get that pitch. Lifted it to center. Varial’s going back. He’s on to the track with room, but it’ll bring home the run from third and it’s 6-3. Stanton has knocked in two of the three Yankees runs. That’s actually a huge out for the Toronto Blue Jays because that ball was hit. Looked like it could have got over his head and maybe a homer, but the Yankees got the two back with a chance to score some more with two outs. Take it high for ball four. And the Yankees get the tying around to the play. We got the Blue Jays having to throw a bullpen game one day after. They’re going to have to cover pretty much a bullpen game like this. Yeah, it’s the same Mason Flu Hardy who picked up that huge save in Los Angeles earlier this year. Zarya 1 for six in these playoffs. Popped up, broke his bat as he pops it over the Yankee logo. Kirk steps onto the white spray paint and makes the catch in foul territory to end the inning. But the Yankees have made this a game once again. And they score a pair on three hits. Knock Shane Bieber out. 3-2 and the left. Barger’s out. He says that he’s got it and then loses the ball. Wells into second. Barger in the game as a pinch hitter earlier. Not for his defense. They give up some defense in bringing him in and it shows right there. Yeah, I don’t think this is his fault. I I think the left fielder got to call him off when a ball’s up that high and a third baseman’s got to go with his back to home plate. I think this is a left fielder and he just gives way to him and that’s what happened. Looked like he was calling it pretty strongly though. Well, he got to call him off. Yeah, you got to call him off. I mean that’s that that’s too far to travel as a third baseman as compared to a left fielder coming in and seeing the angle way better. Trent Gisham, Aaron Boon’s picked the click today. And the hitters count right here. Ball takes ball four and Judge is coming up. The game has again found Aaron Judge. John Schneider will call on Lewis Varand. Judge with another chance to make his mark. Judge against Varand in his career is two for five with a pair of home runs. In this game, he’s two for two. He’s sitting 500 in this postseason. The Yankees have faced elimination. He’s gone deep five times in his career. That’s tied with Nikki Mantel and Yogi Barrow for the franchise record on a two- strike pitch. It’s a drive down the line. If it’s Bar, it’s his moment. It is. It’s tied. Judge has arrived. Aaron Judge and the Yankees take advantage of the air. If you keep giving him chances like his regular season, the numbers are going to start turning. This was 3 in. And that 3 in off the foul pole may have turned this series and Aaron Judge into a different conversation. For 10 years, that ball has sailed wide to the left and just missed the foul pull. This time it hits it. Judge has his first home run of the postseason. And it’s a game tying three-run shot. And the Yankees have come back from down 6-1. Facing elimination here in game three to tie it. Now he’s the round fall foul pole. Ernie Clement deep to the left field corner. Bellinger on the run. It’ll bounce off the warning track and Clement is three for three in this game. Six out of his last seven. And now it’s Santandere knocked in a pair his last time up. Doval to Santandere with a one-1 pitch. line drive right field. Judge will lay out and make the catch. Making plays all over the place. I don’t think he gets enough credit for his defense. Everybody knows what he does offensively, but his defense, he’s playing a lot of center field. And now with the elbow issue, playing right field and a guy they call Bam Bam Barger trying to put the Jays back in front. Down swinging, Tim Hill does the job. On that mound is Tim Hill. That’s a big strike out. Strands a runner at second. No runs, one hit, no errors, and a man left. Well, here is Jazz Chisum. Didn’t put a good swing on one. He flat out the left and walked. There’s the drive to deep right field. New York leads for the first time in the series. Jazz Chisum goes deep. 76 Yankees bottom five. Hey, now second deck for Jazz Chisum. First homer this postseason. and he’s been waiting for this moment. That was a shot. And a Yankees team that hit 30 more home runs than any other during the regular season only had three over the first five games of the postseason, but they have rode a pair of long balls into a tie and then their first lead of this division series. Rosario with a looper down the left field line that’ll sink in. Rosario heads for second. He’ll get there standing. It’s a double. Seven runs on eight hits for the Yankees. It’s Austin Wells, the nine hitter. This crowd has been standing for a while. Ground ball right side that gets by Guerrero. Here comes Rosario. Santand throw. No chance. Throw a second late. No, they say that he’s out. Well says I don’t think so. I don’t really either, but uh maybe we’re both crazy. I don’t think that both challenges and so that’s going to be the call. Run does score. This intentional walk you’re talking about. It’s the 17th time that John Schneider has put him on in his time as a manager. Bellinger to right center field. Santon Dare with a diving try. Can’t get it. And he gets to the track where it sneaks by Vo. Judge stops at third. Bellinger to second. That, by the way, is the first time the Yankees have come up with a hit after the intentional walk to Judge over those three seasons. As he dives, the ball just gets down quicker than he anticipates. And that’s why it went underneath his glove. The game is close. It’s 8 to six. You feel like if the Yankees get a hit here, it’s going to change the pitch selection, pitchers selections moving forward because of the resources you’re going to need for tomorrow. Golf to right center field. But he went down to get that ball and lift it to Santon Bear to get home a run. Good piece of hitting by Ben Rice to make it 96. When a guy throws almost 50% breaking balls, if you stay on the ball, thinking down, even if it’s not a breaking ball, you’re able to stay there, head down, and lift the ball in the air. Yariel Rodriguez makes his first appearance in this series. Check swing in front of the plate. That’s fair ball. Kirk down to first. That’s the inning. Devin Williams a fine fine seventh inning going one two three and Yankees lead 96 on a night they’re trying to stay alive in this divisional series. Lute has had six runs over the first three innings of this game. They have not scored since. The Yankees have gone off lead 9 to6. David Bednar pitched in all three games in the wildard round making his first appearance of the division series. Here’s a one pitch. Bouncing ball gently to second. The only play for Chisum is a first. Well, for the Blue Jays, they would love nothing more than to get a two-out hit here. And at least, if not any more scoring, the ninth inning brings in a little bit of tension with Guerrero looming. Bouncing ball right side to Goldie. Goldie will take it himself to the bag. Yes, sir. That is out number three for the Blue Jays here in the eighth inning. Opportunity for Stanton here with the bases loaded. Yankees up 96. First pitch. Stanton popped it up infield. They converge near the mound. Second baseman makes the play. That’s Clement. And that’ll do it. All right, here we go. A Yankees bullpen that gave up 14 runs over the first two games of this series has fired five and a third scoreless innings tonight. And David Bednar tries to finish it off. Top of the eighth for the Blue Jays. All in the ninth as Bednar strikes him out in the splitter. And he learned his from the master Nommo. It’s an adviser down in San Diego when Bettnar was a minor leaguer with the Padres’s and he said, “Hold it like this.” Lucas came on defensively last inning. Gone in the ninth and out away from giving Schlitler his chance. The Blues are for Vlad who did it again tonight. He’s homered in all three games in this division series. Yeah, he might be slumping. Made it out his last time. What’s wrong with the guy? Diving stop by Cababayro. Game four tomorrow night. The Yankees have life and it was their star. It was the MVP that breathed it into him. A three hit night from Aaron Judge, including a three-run home run that tied the game at six. And Aaron Boon’s club comes from down 6-1 to win it 96. And the offense and the team gets a chance one more night to force a game
