For the second day in a row, the Toronto Blue Jays were in New York to take on the Yankees.

In last night's game, the Blue Jays played an excellent ball game. This allowed them to climb to four games above the Bombardiers – plus the tie-breaker, in favor of the Sparrows – in the Eastern standings.

But today was a different story.

The Yankees managed to hold off the Blue Jays forward in a 3-1 win. The visitors scored in the fourth inning only, via Isiah Kiner-Falefa who drove in Bo Bichette.

Chris Bassitt pitched five innings and gave up two runs. He wouldn't return in the sixth as the game was interrupted for nearly two hours due to rain.

By the way, the delay gave Bo Bichette time to recover from his boo-boo and finish the game. He underwent an X-ray, which proved negative.

For the Yankees, Jasson Dominguez and Austin Wells (twice) produced runs, bringing the Yankees within three games of the Blue Jays in the standings. That's important for the future.

And of course, Jazz Chisholm Jr. found a way, once again, to whine about the umpires. #Classic

Tomorrow, Max Scherzer and Max Fried will be on the mound in an important game for both clubs – especially for the Yankees, who can't afford to lose the series to Toronto.

But at the same time, the Blue Jays don't want to see the Yankees within two games of them tomorrow…

  • What a beautiful pitcher.

  • He's tired of getting hit.

  • Tyler Glasnow: nothing too serious for his back.
