Fifth Inning


The early innings saw both teams struggling to make an impact offensively, as neither side managed to score until the fifth inning. The Birds' pitching staff held firm initially but faltered when they allowed 2 runs on just one hit and an error by their defense.


Sixth Inning


In response, José Berríos showcased his pitching prowess for Toronto by maintaining a low opponent batting average of .154 and achieving a WHIP of 0.5 from previous performances. However, this time around, he couldn't prevent further damage as New York added another pair of runs in this inning.

Seventh Inning


The Bronx Bombers continued their offensive surge into the seventh inning with another run scored on one hit. Despite efforts from players like Tyler Heineman who had previously demonstrated solid hitting skills with an average of .500 and OPS of 1 in past games, Toronto's bats remained largely silent throughout most innings.
