First Inning


The game began with both teams displaying strong defensive plays. The Yankees managed one hit but were unable to convert it into runs. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays took an early lead by scoring one run on their first hit of the game.


Third Inning


By the third inning, both teams had settled into their rhythm. The Yanks scored their first run thanks to some strategic hitting that saw them accumulate two hits in this period. However, it was also during this inning that Toronto extended their lead by adding two more runs from three hits.


Fourth Inning


The fourth inning saw another surge from both sides. The Bronx Bombers added two more runs through three well-timed hits which brought them closer on the scoreboard. Yet again, Toronto responded fiercely by matching those efforts and securing another pair of runs themselves.


Seventh Inning


A pivotal moment for New York came during this period when they rallied back with determination and scored two crucial runs from three hits—showcasing resilience and skill under pressure—but unfortunately could not maintain momentum beyond this point.
