"If there's ever a time for Louis Varland to play the part of hero, it is now. The Toronto Blue Jays have their backs against the wall, or rather against the Bronx. Tuesday was honestly supposed to be their day, but they got served a 9-6 loss. Jays fans might not have noticed, but the Yankees lost Game 2, but also showed signs of coming alive."
"And lo and behold, Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. simply flipped the game on its head. Now, the Jays are trying to regroup and lock in for Game 4 of the ALDS. It's a bullpen game, and it's at Yankee Stadium-for now, the stakes couldn't be higher. But the question everyone is thinking is whether Louis Varland will finish the job. This is the same 27-year-old who gave the game-tying blast to Judge."
Louis Varland is scheduled to start Game 4 of the ALDS in a bullpen day that the Blue Jays planned before the series began. The Blue Jays trail after a 9-6 loss, and the Yankees showed life when Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. turned the game. Varland gave up a game-tying home run but has been a reliable reliever for weeks and earned the team's trust with outings including two perfect innings on September 25. The bullpen-day plan uses Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, and Shane Bieber as starters in a mix-and-match approach.
