With left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer on the mound for the Blue Jays, they intentionally walk Aaron Judge of the Yankees with the bases empty and one out so that Lauer can pitch to Cody Bellinger with a 2-1 lead. Bellinger flies out to leftfield, and Lauer comes out of the game. We’ll see if this works as Giancarlo Stanton comes to the plate to face Yariel Rodriguez.

Update: Stanton draws a walk. Judge was running on a 3-1 pitch, and it might have caused a bit of a distraction.

Update: Jazz Chisholm Jr. grounds out to second to end the inning. The strategy worked.
