Gleyber Torres rescues Yankees from pitching disaster

Gleyber Torres sent the Yankees to England in style, with a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth, as they outlasted the Blue Jays, 8-7, Wednesday in The Bronx.

Torres’ heroics finished up a 9-1 homestand, as they won for the 11th time in 12 games overall.

The Yankees seemed to be closing in on another victory to finish off a dominant homestand in the top of the ninth, but with Aroldis Chapman unavailable after pitching on consecutive days, Aaron Boone went to Zack Britton to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and the lefty crumbled.
