Blue Jays end New York Yankees win streak
The Toronto Blue Jays avoided a three-game sweep at home last night by defeating the rival Yankees by a score of 2-1. Yusei Kikuchi got the start for the Blue Jays and was brilliant, going six innings and allowing just one earned run.
Nestor Cortes started for the Yankees and went just four innings, allowing two earned runs. The Yankees bullpen kept the team in the game, but the offense could not score another run after averaging over seven runs per game in their previous 11 games.
Matt Chapman got the Blue Jays offense going with a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning.
"A Matt Chapman bomb to dead center puts the Blue Jays up 1-0!" - @ Talkin' Baseball
Shortly after, outfielder Joey Gallo of the New York Yankees blasted a solo home run himself to left-center field and tied the game back up at 1.
"Joey Gallo home run! And we're tied" - @ Talkin' Yanks
The Blue Jays answered right back with a run of their own in the bottom of the third with a single by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that drove in Bo Bichette.
"Darth Vlader delivers" - @ Blue Jays
The Blue Jays shut the door the rest of the way, but the ninth inning was surely interesting. The Yankees had the bases loaded and Isiah Kiner-Falefa was up to the plate with two outs.
"The end-of-game review was just to watch Vladdy do THIS"-@Blue Jays
Kiner-Falefa grounded out to third baseman Matt Chapman, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was able to make an outstanding play to win the game after an arrant throw by Chapman.
