Game Preview

Jazz Chisholm Jr. made an impressive debut for the New York Yankees upon arriving at Fenway Park last Sunday. After hitting four home runs in his first few games with the team, Chisholm will make his home debut on Friday as the Yankees face the Toronto Blue Jays, looking to extend their winning streak to six games.

Acquired from the Miami Marlins for three prospects, Chisholm played center field in Sunday’s 8-2 victory over the Red Sox and previously appeared at third base during a sweep of the Phillies. He delivered two multi-homer games and drove in eight runs in recent victories.

“I thrive in the spotlight and big crowds,” Chisholm said of his Yankees experience. “It energizes my game.”

Since joining the Yankees, Chisholm is hitting .368 in 19 at-bats, a significant improvement from his .249 average with the Marlins this season. In Wednesday’s 6-5 win, DJ LeMahieu had a standout performance with a grand slam and six RBIs.

The Yankees’ recent sweep in Philadelphia marks their first five-game winning streak since a season-high eight-game run earlier in the year. Despite recent struggles, the team is optimistic about their upcoming stretch of games against teams with losing records.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are coming off a tough series in Baltimore, where they lost three of four games. They are in the midst of a 10-game stretch against the Yankees and Orioles. Addison Barger hit his first two career home runs, and Joey Loperfido, who was acquired from the Astros, had a hit in his Toronto debut. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. extended his hitting streak to 14 games, batting .500 during this period.
