The hyped Gerrit Cole-Alek Manoah showdown Saturday at Yankee Stadium began a touch later than expected, perhaps because a mind game started before the game did., the Yankees ace had to step off the mound to wait for Toronto players — including Manoah and catcher Alejandro Kirk, who were at the back of the pack — to make their way from the bullpen to the visiting dugout.

Peraza, who had never played third base professionally before Friday, was back at the spot Saturday for a second game in a row and again performed well. He looked solid defensively and went 1-for-2 with a walk.
