Moving ahead to the eighth inning, two outs for the Yankees. Gio Urshela hits a ball that hops over Lourdes Gurriel Jr. who seems to lose his balance in a squat. A walk to Clint Frazier. Brett Gardner gets a base hit as Torres scores from second. The inning is dragging as the pitcher for the Blue Jays keeps stepping off the mound. Higashioka back up, he hits one that hits the top of the wall. Some confusion over whether it’s a double or a home run. Umpires call it a home run. Blue Jay challenge. It’s overturned and Higashioka returns to second base. A pitching change and a ground out end the inning. 10-1 Yankees.
Top of the ninth. Judge gets a base hit. Mike Tauchman walks and Tyler Wade flies out. Torres gets a RBI single followed by a RBI single by Urshela. Anothr pitching change that ends the inning. Blue Jays can’t get another run.
Yankees win 12-1.
