Freddy Galvis fouled off one, two, three, four, five Aroldis Chapman pitches on Tuesday night, a called strike splitting up foul balls one and two, before finally knocking a slow grounder to second base that DJ LeMahieu fielded and threw to first base in time.
With that, the Yankees completed a taut, 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays, their second straight win and third consecutive series triumph, while also setting a major league record by hitting a home run (four of them on this night) in a 28th consecutive contest. That Giancarlo Stanton departed mid-game with a right knee contusion caused concern without consternation, as they know they thrived without him.
