Part 2/7:
The series began ominously for the Yankees, with Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. setting the tone early. Guerrero's RBI double in the first inning sparked the Blue Jays' offensive surge, as he became a dominant force in the series, reminiscent of a relentless Michael Myers figure in a horror film. Despite the early setback, rookie Yankees right-hander Cam Schlitler held his ground, escaping the inning after a spectacular sliding catch by Cody Bellinger ended the threat.
