Bellinger and Chisholm’s Two‑Run Homers Ignite Yankees’ 7th‑Inning Rally to Beat Toronto 7‑6
In a dramatic showdown, New York rallied in the 7th inning thanks to back‑to‑back two‑run blasts from Aaron Bellinger and Chris Chisholm, edging the Blue Jays 7‑6.
It was a night that felt like a roller‑coaster for fans at the Rogers Centre. The Toronto Blue Jays had clutched a 6‑5 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh, but the New York Yankees weren’t about to let the game slip away without a fight.
First, Aaron Bellinger stepped up to the plate. After a tentative start to his Yankees tenure, the left‑handed slugger delivered a crisp, two‑run homer that instantly narrowed the gap to 6‑7. The crowd’s murmur turned into a collective gasp.
Before the Dodgers‑in‑exile could catch their breath, Chris Chisholm followed with his own one‑out, two‑run shot—this time blasting the ball over the left‑field fence, sealing the comeback and sending the home team’s bench into a frenzy.
Toronto’s pitcher, who had been solid all night, looked stunned as the Yankees reclaimed the lead. The Blue Jays tried to answer in the eighth, loading the bases with two outs, but a routine groundout brought the inning to a close, preserving the Yankees’ 7‑6 advantage.
New York’s bullpen held firm, and the final out was recorded by reliever Jameson Taillon, who retired the side in order. The victory not only snapped Toronto’s three‑game winning streak but also gave the Yankees a morale boost heading into the weekend series.
For Bellinger, it was a long‑awaited return to the power‑hitting form that once made him a World Series MVP. Chisholm, meanwhile, added another clutch moment to his growing résumé, reminding everyone why he’s a valued piece of the Yankees’ lineup.
Both teams will regroup quickly; the Blue Jays aim to bounce back at home, while the Yankees look to build on this late‑inning heroics as they chase a playoff spot.
