John Schneider wasn’t wasting any time in calling upon his bullpen on Tuesday night.
After the Toronto Blue Jays broke out to a 6-1 lead in the third inning of Game 3 against the New York Yankees in the ALDS, starter Shane Bieber ran into some trouble in his second time through the lineup.
Facing the top of the Yankees’ order, Bieber allowed back-to-back doubles from Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge, a single from Cody Bellinger and a sacrifice fly to Giancarlo Stanton. While he did induce a fielder’s choice groundout from Ben Rice, the Blue Jays’ top trade deadline acquisition walked Jazz Chisholm Jr. to bring the tying run to the plate with two out.
That’s when Schneider took the ball from the former Cy Young winner in favour of left-hander Mason Fluharty with Ryan McMahon coming to the
