Fourth Inning

Toronto continued its offensive push in the fourth inning, adding two more runs courtesy of Alejandro Kirk’s timely hitting. Despite New York's efforts, they only managed two runs during this period due to strong fielding by Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger.

Seventh Inning

Eighth Inning
