After the Hernandez hit, Chapman blew away Randal Grichuk with a 101 mph fastball for the first out. He then came back from down 3-1 in the count to get pinch-hitter Santiago Espinal to hit a comebacker. Guerrero committed from third and Chapman quickly threw to catcher Gary Sanchez at home \u2014 too quickly, giving Guerrero a chance to get back to third base \u2014 but Sanchez reacted fast and gunned him down on a bang-bang play. After a review, the call was upheld.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGary made a great play there,\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n<p>        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Podcast\" width=\"100%\" height=\"188px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.acast.com\/pinstripe-pod\/acandid-entertainingconversationwithyankeesgreatdavidwells?accentColor=2a2a2a&amp;bgColor=f6f6f6&amp;font-family=proxima%20nova&amp;logo=false&amp;secondaryColor=cc3333\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><br \/>\n        <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Chapman still had one out to get. The first pitch to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was foul tipped and got away from Sanchez. The Blue Jays argued it was a swing and a miss, which would\u2019ve enabled the tying run to score, but the play was not reviewable and it was ruled a foul ball. Sanchez said he heard two sounds \u2014 the ball hitting the bat and then his glove.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the mound, it looked like a foul ball to me,\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n<p>On the seventh pitch, Gurriel was able to make contact on a high 100 mph fastball, but center fielder Brett Gardner was there to seal the victory and end the chaotic inning. Instead of a potential gut-punch loss, the Yankees had secured at least two wins in this three-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> series after a heart-pounding ninth inning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, [he\u2019s] the best closer in the game,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cThey took some really tough at-bats against him. \u2026 He just kept making pitches.
