After being benched in Game 1, Chisholm found a unique way to reset, mercy-ruling an opponent in MLB The Show.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>In Game 1, manager Aaron Boone opted for a right-handed bat against Red Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet, keeping Chisholm on the bench. He eventually pinch-hit with the bases loaded in the ninth but flew out to center to end the game. It was a frustrating moment, but the 27-year-old infielder stayed upbeat.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the lineup for Game 2, he went 0-for-3 with a walk but scored the game-winning run in the eighth inning. His elite speed \u2014 clocked at 9.16 seconds home-to-home \u2014 turned Austin Wells\u2019 single into the decisive moment of the night. It wasn\u2019t a hit, but it was exactly the spark the Yankees desperately needed.<\/p>\n<p>MLB\u2019s Bryan Hoch took to X (formerly known as Twitter), posting Chisholm\u2019s candid explanation of how he shook off the Game 1 disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mercy-ruled someone,\u201d he said. His team, called the \u201cNew York Aliens,\u201d had Ken Griffey Jr. in the lineup to win, 12-1. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a cheat code.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Fox Sports MLB\u2019s Deesha Thosar also posted to the platform about his comments, confirming the 12-1 score and his lighthearted take on how a video game win helped him bounce back before contributing in real life.<\/p>\n<p>The infielder\u2019s approach highlights both personality and resilience. Known for his energy and flair, he has quickly become a fit in the Yankees clubhouse. His humor online resonates with younger fans, while his Game 2 base-running reminded everyone how much of a difference his speed can make in October.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Chisholm is expected to start again in Game 3 against Boston\u2019s left-hander Connelly Early. With the Yankees vs. Red Sox series tied, his ability to impact the game on the bases and in the field could prove decisive in the do-or-die matchup.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><em>Related: Thursday\u2019s set of Game 3s is very rare in MLB history<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Related: Red Sox pitcher Connelly Early will break new ground with Game 3 start vs. Yankees<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Yankees Jazz Chisholm Jr. revealed he bounced back from his Game 1 benching by Aaron Boone with a \u201cmercy rule\u201d win in MLB The Show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":101869,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1443,47,3957,481,887,3956,3955,40],"class_list":["post-101868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-austin-wells","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-connelly-early","tag-garrett-crochet","tag-jazz-chisholm","tag-ken-griffey-jr","tag-mlb-the-show","tag-new-york-yankees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
