TORONTO -- Tyler Austin crushed two impressive home runs, but an eighth-inning blast and an embarrassing lapse on Dellin Betances' watch sent the Yankees to their first defeat of the young season on Saturday afternoon.
In a contest that was marred by a pair of injuries on the visiting side, Yangervis Solarte hit a go-ahead homer and Kevin Pillar caught the Bombers napping with a straight steal of home plate, lifting the Blue Jays to a 5-3 victory at Rogers Centre.
Pillar steals home Austin brought his team back twice as he enjoyed the first multi-homer game of his career, slugging game-tying shots in the fifth and seventh innings, but was left standing on deck in the ninth as Roberto Osuna froze Brett Gardner looking for his first save of the year.
