Yankees score go-ahead run after Paul Goldschmidt's zero-pitch at-bat
Summary

In a game against the Blue Jays on August 16, 2026, Yankees player Paul Goldschmidt had a unique at-bat that lasted no pitches. Brought in as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning, he was intentionally walked by Toronto before being replaced by Jazz Chisholm. This decision contributed to a Yankees run scored later in the inning by Jose Caballero. The game was tied and went into extra innings, but the Yankees ultimately won 4-3 in 10 innings. They will play the Orioles the following night.
