DJ LeMahieu came fresh off the bench to pinch hit and did exactly what the Yankees needed him to do: walk it off. Facing Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the ninth, LeMahieu’s single won the game.

The win was a relief for the Yankees. Anthony Volpe’s home run gave New York a 2-0 lead in the eighth. Yet, Toronto tied it up in the ninth on Danny Jansen’s pinch-hit home run.
