Michael King Got New York Out Of Bases Loaded Jam That Aroldis Chapman Created! Before That Luis Severino Kept Toronto's Offense At Bay, Isiah -Kiner Falfea, Jose Trevino Provided Offense In 3-0 Win

Michael King got New York out of bases loaded jam Thursday that Aroldis Chapman created by walking batters and in the process bringing the potential go ahead run to the plate that was Matt Chapman

When?

In the 9th inning Thursday.

How?

By throwing just five pitches that included him getting ahead of Bo Bichette with a sinker that nicked the zone, again efforting for a grounder. Trevino called for a curve, and Bichette flared a soft pop to the right side of the infield, one that seemed as though it might find the right-field turf.

DJ LeMahieu ranged to his left, snaring the ball on the run, then whipped a throw to Anthony Rizzo at first base -- just ahead of Chapman, who was diving back into the bag headfirst. Just like that, ballgame over, meltdown averted.

Before Michael King took the mound to relief his teammate Aroldis Chapman who was having difficulty with his command and throwing strikes Luis Severino who started pitched five innings, struck out 6 and walked 2 batters.

Aaron Boone had this to say about Aroldis Chapman’s outing!

“He was a little around the zone,”I don’t know. It was obviously a longer night and a little damp and whatever. He just wasn’t in a real good rhythm there, I felt like. It was just one of those nights.”

Aroldis Chapman had this to say about his outing on Thursday night The fastball command was not sharp tonight; a little out of the zone,” that included Aroldis Chapman uncorking a wild pitch that took away a chance for a double play. Michael King tried to get a ground ball, then zipped an 0-2 fastball past George Springer, painting the outside edge for strike three.

When I turned around, I saw DJ was going to get there,he bat, I didn’t want it up in the air. But I saw Chapman halfway down the line and said, ‘This is going to be the end of the game.’”
