The Toronto Blue Jays bludgeoned the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS. Toronto took the Division Series-opener 10-1 after the Yankees\u2019 bullpen collapsed, allowing eight runs over their last two innings. However, before the game turned into a blowout, the Blue Jays had to escape a bases loaded jam in the sixth inning and a tense moment with Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s Game 1 starter Kevin Gausman was cruising along with five scoreless innings. But the Yankees threatened the Blue Jays\u2019 2-0 lead in the sixth. New York loaded the bases, setting Judge up for a big RBI opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t great, to be honest with you. That\u2019s the last guy you want up,\u201d manager John Schneider said after the game, per SNY Yankees videos.<\/p>\n

Schneider stuck with his starter in the pivotal moment. And Gausman retired Judge in an eight-pitch at-bat. \u201cThat\u2019s a huge, huge strikeout obviously, to who is gonna be the MVP of the league probably,\u201d the veteran manager added.<\/p>\n

Schneider says he kept Gausman in the game because the two-time All-Star\u2019s pitch count was still low and his velocity hadn\u2019t declined. \u201cYou\u2019re kinda feeding off the emotion a little bit too\u2026 but it didn’t feel great, honestly, with Judge coming up, bases loaded and nobody out. It’s basically the last thing you want to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the big time strikeout, Cody Bellinger walked on four pitches. But Schneider still wasn\u2019t ready to go to the bullpen. Gausman responded by retiring Ben Rice on a pop up.<\/p>\n

\u201cKev made big pitches, man,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cJust wanted a little power against Stanton and Louis [Varland] came in and was great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Varland struck Stanton out on a 100 mph four-seamer, ending the Yankees\u2019 threat. Although New York pushed a run across, it was a squandered opportunity. The Yankees stranded seven runners in the 10-1 defeat and the Blue Jays\u2019 bullpen worked 3.1 scoreless innings Saturday.<\/p>\n

Toronto got on top early with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.\u2019s solo home run in the first inning. Alejandro Kirk added two solo shots, becoming the fourth player in Blue Jays\u2019 history with a multi-homer postseason game.<\/p>\n

However, Toronto blew the game open with a four-run seventh inning. Yankees reliever Luke Weaver allowed three runs on two hits and a walk without recording an out in his Game 1 appearance.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
