Austin Wells loses track of the outs in 9th inning and costs the Yankees a late opportunity
NEW YORK (AP) — Perhaps nobody was happier the Yankees won Wednesday night than catcher Austin Wells, after his embarrassing mental lapse on the bases cost New York an opportunity in the ninth inning. 'I think I just was being an idiot," he said. Anthony Volpe hit a tying homer off Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks with one out in the ninth, then Wells singled and advanced to second base when Trent Grisham tried to bunt for a hit. Grisham was thrown out at first for the second out and credited with a sacrifice. Wells, however, thought the inning was over and wandered off the bag. He got tagged in a rundown for the third out, sending a back-and-forth game to extra innings as fans in the Yankee Stadium crowd of 45,355 groaned. 'He thought there were three outs," New York manager Aaron Boone said. "Obviously, can't happen. With the base coaches we say the right thing. We go through with the pitcher, their time to the plate and number (of) outs. What do you say? Can't happen.' Instead of having seven-time All-Star and 2022 NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt at bat with the potential winning run on second base, the Yankees were resigned to keep slugging it out with Tampa Bay in extra innings. 'Just thought there was three outs,' Wells said. 'Very embarrassed and disappointed, for sure. You know, you let the guys down when you do that. You give away an out like that in a big spot, so that's disappointing — and definitely no good thoughts going on there.' New York fell behind 4-3 in the 10th, tied it again on Cody Bellinger's run-scoring triple and finally won 5-4 in the 11th on Ryan McMahon's game-ending single to deep center field after a critical balk by reliever Kevin Kelly. The Yankees remained four games behind first-place Toronto in the AL East. 'I mean, everyone did such a great job tonight," Wells said. "Started in the beginning with (rookie pitcher Will Warren). Gave us a great position to come back in that game. And I mean, all the huge hits that happened and then all the huge innings that the relievers threw. What a game. And that's just something that we've been needing, and to come back like that is huge.'

Blue Jays' Max Scherzer makes promise after rough night vs. Yankees
The post Blue Jays' Max Scherzer makes promise after rough night vs. Yankees appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Toronto Blue Jays are in the middle of an incredible run; heading into their Tuesday night clash against the New York Yankees, they've gone 29-13 since the start of June. That is a hot streak that now has them in control of the AL East division with some breathing room. However, the Yankees aren't just about to let the Blue Jays pull away without much of a challenge, as the former defeated the latter on Tuesday in the second game of the series, 5-4, to set up a rubber match on Wednesday. For the Blue Jays, it was veteran starter Max Scherzer who took the bump. He hasn't exactly been at his best in 2025, which shouldn't come as a surprise seeing as he's already 40 years of age, and that persisted on Tuesday. He allowed four earned runs for the Yankees in just five innings of work — with his ERA ballooning to 5.14 (his worst single-season mark if it holds). Nonetheless, Scherzer vowed that he'll be better for the Blue Jays the next time he goes back to the mound. 'I take accountability for where I put the ball, and I can be better. I know I can be better. So I will be better,' Scherzer said following the Blue Jays' loss, per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Yankees get the better of Max Scherzer, Blue Jays The Yankees wasted no time making Scherzer's life miserable. After Trent Grisham got a leadoff hit in the top of the first inning, Scherzer compounded matters by throwing a middle-outside fastball that Cody Bellinger pinged to center field for a double. While the Blue Jays veteran rebounded to strike Aaron Judge out, Jazz Chisholm Jr. took advantage of a meatball right in the middle of the zone for a three-run home run. Bellinger was simply seeing the ball well out of Scherzer's hands, as he followed up a double in the first inning with a home run of his own in the fifth. This put the Blue Jays on the backfoot for most of the night. While Toronto did rebound to tie the game heading into the ninth, Ben Rice played spoiler and hit the home run that would prove to be the winning one for the Yankees. Scherzer, on the year, has an ERA of 5.14 in six starts. He's struck out 28 batters in 28.0 innings, but he allows so many good batted balls from the opposition whenever he fails to place his pitches properly.
