Down 6–1 and staring elimination in the face, the Yankees rode a tidal swing from Aaron Judge, a three-run rocket that kissed the right-field foul pole, to a season-saving 9–6 win over Toronto in Game 3. Judge finished with a double and that game-tying blast, Giancarlo Stanton and Jazz Chisholm Jr. added go-ahead knocks, and a lockdown bullpen slammed the door. New York still trails the series, but momentum tilts to the Bronx with rookie Cam Schlittler set for Game 4 against a Jays bullpen game.
After rings, a banner, and all the champs’ pageantry, Florida settled in and handled business. Carter Verhaeghe sniped a first-period PPG, A.J. Greer cleaned up a rebound, and Jesper Boqvist’s third-period bat-in stood as the winner while Sergei Bobrovsky turned aside Chicago’s late push. Connor Bedard flashed with a breakaway, Frank Nazar sparked a 2-on-1 tally, and Spencer Knight kept it tight, but the Cats looked every bit the defending champs in a composed opener. On to Philly.
