A day after securing the 53rd playoff berth in franchise history, the New York Yankees were torched for nine runs as they fell to the Toronto Blue Jays, 9-5, this afternoon in Toronto. Jaime Garcia and the rest of the Yankees pitching staff were seemingly in hot water all afternoon, giving the Blue Jays an advantage that they would never relinquish.
Aaron Judge’s steamy September continued as the potential MVP blasted two home runs this afternoon. But Judge’s Herculean efforts were all for naught, as minuscule contributions from everyone else in the lineup resulted in a lost series and dropping yet another game behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East.
