Rice’s Clutch Homer Saves Yankees | New York Yankees News
Description
In a tense extra-innings thriller, the Yankees edged out the Blue Jays 4-3, avoiding a sweep thanks to Ben Rice’s clutch two-run homer in the 10th inning — a moment that could reignite his fading slump. After a brutal stretch of hitting just .125 with one homer and a costly error in the ninth that tied the game, Rice turned the tide by crushing three consecutive sliders from Blue Jays pitcher Braydon Fisher, who relies heavily on breaking balls. The win comes at a critical time for the Yankees, who’ve struggled offensively and are missing key players like Judge and Bellinger. Rice’s recent struggles — marked by rising strikeouts and falling contact rates — suggest he’s been pressing, but this heroic blast may be the spark he needs to rediscover his form.
