Have The Yankee “Ghosts” Found Their Way to The New Yankee Stadium? A Wild Fourth

Have the Yankee “Ghosts” Found Their Way to the New Yankee Stadium? A Wild Fourth

After the game “I guess a couple ghosts in Monument Park helped keep that fair.” Judge said.

Something supernatural woke up in Yankee Stadium Tuesday night. The Yankees were down six to one. The crowd was dead. Toronto fans were already talking sweep. But then everything flipped. The bats woke up. The Bronx woke up. And the ghosts? They clocked in for work.

Toronto Got Comfortable Too Early

The Blue Jays came into this one way too loose. Laughing in the dugout. Jazz Chisholm caught yawning on camera. They thought the Yankees were finished. They forgot where they were playing. The Bronx remembers everything. You do not embarrass this team in their house and walk away clean.

First inning, Judge singles to center. Stanton brings him home with a line drive to left. Yankees on the board early. Two to one. The building starts humming. It felt like maybe, just maybe, they were not going to roll over. But Toronto answered right back, padding the lead to six to one by the third. The Jays thought they had it wrapped up. They had no clue what was coming next.

The Turning Point

Bottom of the third. Trent Grisham steps in and smacks a double to deep right. The crowd finally wakes up. Then Aaron Judge ropes another double to deep left to bring Grisham home. Cody Bellinger keeps the pressure on with a single to center. The Yankees keep chipping away. Stanton lifts a sac fly to score Bellinger. Now it’s six to three. The place is getting loud. You can feel the tension building. Bieber’s night is done. Toronto’s confidence starts to crack.

The Ghosts Take Over

Fourth inning. Austin Wells hits a little pop-up that should have been caught. Addison Barger calls for it. The ball drops. Error. The Bronx erupts. That’s when you know something is different. The ghosts are moving. Grisham draws a walk. Two on. Aaron Judge steps in. One swing later the entire stadium shakes. He turns on a fastball and sends it screaming toward the left-field foul pole. Five seconds of silence. Then the clang. Fair ball. Three-run homer. Tie game. The noise is unreal. It’s like the old Yankee Stadium just punched through the new one.

The Bronx Stampede

From that moment on the Blue Jays were finished. They just did not know it yet. Jazz Chisholm adds a solo blast in the fifth to give New York the lead. Wells drives in another run. The Yankees are rolling. The bullpen locks it down like Fort Knox. Cruz, Doval, Hill, Williams, Bednar. Six and two thirds of scoreless work. Not a single walk. Nothing easy. Every out earned.

The Crowd That Changed The Night

Every pitch in the final innings felt heavy. Devin Williams, who was getting roasted by fans all season, walks off to a standing ovation. That is what October in the Bronx does. It flips the script. It turns doubt into roar. It makes believers out of everybody.

Final Word

The Blue Jays thought they were running a coronation. They ended up walking through a haunted house. Judge’s swing off that foul pole will be replayed forever. The bullpen came through. The fans were electric. The ghosts were loud. This was the Bronx reminding the league that October still runs through Yankee Stadium.

Now all eyes on Cam Schlittler for Game 4. Rookie. Big stage. The kind of night legends are born. The ghosts are not done. The story is not finished. Bronx baseball is alive and dangerous again.
