The New York Yankees have been on a hot streak lately, winning five straight games and looking to extend that streak to six as they face off against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. One of the key players contributing to the Yankees’ recent success is Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was acquired from the Miami Marlins and has made an immediate impact with his new team.
Chisholm made his debut in center field for the Yankees’ win over the Boston Red Sox and has since hit four home runs in his first three games with the team. His performance has been nothing short of impressive, with consecutive multi-homer games and eight RBIs in just two games against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaking about his move to the Yankees, Chisholm said, “This is what I live for. I love the lights, I love the big crowds, it’s super exciting. I just feel like that complements my game, being in the lights, being in big moments.”
Chisholm’s arrival has injected new energy into the Yankees lineup, and his presence has been felt both on the field and in the clubhouse. With a batting average of .368 in his first few games with the team, Chisholm is proving to be a valuable addition to the Yankees roster.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are coming off a series against the Baltimore Orioles, where they dropped three of four games. Toronto will be looking to bounce back against the Yankees, with key players like George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leading the way.
On the pitching side, the Yankees will send Marcus Stroman to the mound, while the Blue Jays will counter with Kevin Gausman. Stroman, a former Blue Jay, will be looking to continue his success against his former team, while Gausman aims to shut down the Yankees lineup and secure a win for Toronto.
As the two teams face off, both will be looking to gain momentum and secure a crucial win in the competitive AL East division. With Chisholm’s hot bat and the Blue Jays’ potent lineup, Friday night’s game is sure to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams.
