Masahiro pitched 8+ innings of brilliantly working his curve, FB & a few sliders 4 hits 0 runs at one point retiring 14 in a row - some good D behind him - one blemish as the Yankees took a 1-0 lead on doubles by Gio & Gardy.
Lead-off single by Drury in the 9th & Boone brings in Chapman - he's not the automatic like Mariano - batters are catching up with his heater even the 100+ . The young bats of the Jays fought off pitches & worked the pitch count. took 25 pitches but he got the save. Talk about an exciting, Yankee Classic - if you missed it definitely worth watching on ENCORE tonight or tomorrow morning.
