Yankees Face Tough Challenge in Game 3 Against Blue Jays

USAWed Oct 08 2025
The New York Yankees are in a tight spot. They are playing at home but are close to losing the series. The Toronto Blue Jays won the second game with a big score of 13-7. This puts the Blue Jays just one win away from moving to the next round, something they haven't done in nearly a decade. Historically, teams that lead 2-0 in a best-of-five series win most of the time. The Yankees did pull off a comeback once, in 2017, but that was against a different team. Now, they need to win three games in a row to advance. If you want to watch Game 3, it starts at 8:08 p. m. ET on October 7. There are ways to watch it without cable. Services like DIRECTV offer a free trial for five days, starting at $59. 99 per month. Another option is FOX ONE, which has a seven-day free trial before charging $19. 99 per month. The series could go up to five games. Game 4 is on October 8 at 7:08 p. m. ET, and Game 5, if needed, is on October 10 at 8:08 p. m. ET. For Game 3, the Blue Jays will have Shane Bieber pitching. He recently returned from injury and has been doing well since joining Toronto. The Yankees will have Carlos Rodón, who pitched in the last game and gave up three runs.
