1998 Yankees Diary, April 22: Brosius and Pettitte help Bombers crush Clemens

The 1998 Yankees may have had an eight-game win streak snapped on April 19th, but they very quickly got back on their horse as their schedule sent them north of the border. As part of a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Yankees took the opening two games. However, they had a tough task on their plate for the series finale.

The reigning Cy Young winner, who was on his way to repeating in ‘98, Roger Clemens was set to take the mound for the Jays. The future Yankee had signed with Toronto ahead of the 1997 season and put in a dominant year.
