TORONTO — What if Friday night’s biggest lesson at Rogers Centre must be applied not to J.A. Happ or anyone else wearing a Yankees uniform, but rather to all the aspiring umpires out there?
Look before you bleep.
Oh, sure, the Yankees’ nine-game winning streak concluded in ignominious fashion with Happ getting pounded to the tune of an 8-2 loss to his former team, the Blue Jays. The veteran left-hander, his ERA now at 5.48 after surrendering six runs — including three homers — over five innings, continues to be a major concern for this team that is virtually guaranteed a ticket to October yet faces enough starting-pitching questions to raise anxiety levels throughout Yankee Universe.
