“Vladdy believed he could fly and did,” one social media post reads.
With the series shifting to Yankee Stadium, the sellout crowd in the baseball-mad city was vocal from the start. “O Canada” was loudly booed before the game and a two-run homer from Guerrero in the opening frame unsettled the crowd of 47,399 even more.
The Yankees came back to win the game 9-6, denying the Blue Jays a chance to sweep the best-of-five series.
