The Yankees walked off the Blue Jays in a dramatic finish after tying it in the ninth. With the score knotted at 7, Glaber Torres stepped up with two men on. He battled through the count, adjusting to pitches in the zone. Then he came through with a clutch hit. Didi Gregorius bolted around third and slid home with the winning run. Third base coach Phil Nevin wasted no time sending him. The dugout exploded, and the team rushed the field.
The postgame celebration turned chaotic and fun. Gio Urshela and Edwin Encarnación delivered the first wave of congratulations. Then the team pinned Torres in place to soak him with the Gatorade bath. Everyone else ducked out, but Didi stayed and took the full hit with him. Luke Voit tossed the gum bucket like he’d completed his mission. Aaron Judge stood in the background, towering over everyone, and cracked smiles watching it all unfold.
Judge’s size became part of the entertainment. His massive hands looked like they could lift Torres off the ground, and his presence added another layer of comedy. Glaber beamed as he got drenched while the team laughed and cheered. The coordination on the first bucket soaked him completely. Judge handled the second by himself. Glaber just stood there, shivering and grinning, as the Yankees enjoyed the win.
