Vladimir Guerrero Fils, Bo Bichette, Alejandro Kirk and their teammates seem to be afraid of anything. No more than the veteran Kevin Gausman launcher.

Bichette, using a double of two points at the end of the fifth round, contributed. He then pushed his teammates to marble George Springer and Guerrero Son, the latter crossing the paid plate by diving on his stomach before leaping in the air to celebrate.

A few defensive wraids of the Yankees, warmly applauded by the crowd, allowed the Blue Jays to finish this half-manche with four points.
All against Judge
The intensity of this match had been quickly established by the 41,788 spectators. Welcomed by hoots from his first presence in the stick, Judge quickly accumulated two catches against him, immediately causing the encouragement to Gausman, at the start of the first round. The start of the Blue Jays withdrew him on sockets as soon as it is launched and the supporters jumped with joy.
To his second visit to the marble, Judge was awarded an intentional bullet goal while the previous striker, after two withdrawals, had just struck a double. The first cushion was free to accommodate the powerful knock of the Yankees. The strategy has paid since Gausman followed by removing Jazz Chisholm son in the stick.
It was ultimately not Judge, but Giancarlo Stanton who struck the long ball for visitors, at the start of the fourth round, a solo slap to open the score.
All in all, in seven work rounds, Gausman allowed a single point and four strokes, totaling eight withdrawals on sockets.
“It’s Kev!” We needed a great performance on his part and he delivered it, “noted Schneider, about the work of Gausman.
Two long doubles for Kirk
Kirk struck two doubles at the end in this match. Each time, it was very close to a circuit and each time, Kirk could not mark. On the second occasion, Joey Loperfido indeed followed with a single in the right field, but we rather stopped the Rondelet receiver to the third goal, respecting the powerful arm of the voltiseur, a certain … Aaron Judge.
Getting his revenge, it was Kirk who removed the show from the Yankees, in the next round, following a ball behind the marble. Judge ended the evening without the slightest stroke in three official presences in the stick, having also been removed on taken by the Brendon Little lifter. To close the show, Jeff Hoffman came to close the books in this evening when a “Bobblehead” figurine in his effigy had been distributed to the first 15,000 supporters.
Synonymous with good news for baseball lovers, the meeting is again given between Blue Jays and Yankees on Tuesday and Wednesday, to complete this series of three games.
