114 games into my Yankees franchise with MLB 17 the show
Had lost 4 of 5 and in danger of being swept by Toronto after losing the first two of the series 10-9 and 6-3, blowing early leads in both. We welcome Gary Sanchez back to the starting lineup for the finale and he doesn't disappoint, slugging a 2 run HR in his first at bat and adding a double later. We jump out 6-0, the Jays cut it to 6-5 with Otani on the hill for us, but we manage to stop them there and get some insurance as our bats come alive.
New York 9-17-1 (2B-5, HR-3, BB-1, K-9)
Toronto 5-7-0 (2B-1, HR-1, BB-2, K-10)
Record 55-59, 5th place but only 7.5 back still
