The Major League Baseball season is a lengthy journey. When it extends into the playoffs, fatigue can set in. This was evident during Game 3 of the American League Division Series when Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm was spotted yawning. This occurred after Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho drove in a run during the third inning.
At that point, the Yankees were struggling, trailing 6-1 after their half of the third inning. Given the situation, Chisholm’s fatigue is understandable. The Yankees seemed to be on the verge of a postseason disappointment against the Blue Jays.
Yankees Rally in Late Innings
However, the tide began to shift in the later innings. The standout moment came when Aaron Judge hit a towering home run in the fourth inning, allowing the Yankees to tie the game. Judge’s performances have been noteworthy; he set career postseason highs with eleven hits, four RBIs in one game, and a three-hit game within just the first six playoff matches.
Chisholm’s Recent Struggles
Jazz Chisholm has faced some challenges in recent weeks. After a loss to the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, he had a tense moment where he turned his back on reporters during a post-game interview. Following that defeat, he returned home to his Manhattan residence to unwind.
- Chisholm engaged in hours of gaming, playing “MLB: The Show” until the early hours of the morning.
- He enjoys competing against gamers worldwide, boasting a winning record.
- “I sit there and talk trash,” Chisholm remarked about his gaming experiences.
A strong performance from Judge could significantly boost Chisholm’s spirits. If the Yankees manage to overcome the Blue Jays in the game, the mood around the team will undoubtedly improve. Judge’s heroics could provide the awakening Chisholm needs, at least for now.
