Yankees 2, Blue Jays 4: Stroman, Donaldson dinger down the Yanks

The Yanks had an early lead, but Josh Donaldson delivered the decisive blow to give them their first series loss of 2016.

It takes just one mistake to define a ballgame. Nathan Eovaldi cruised along with a shutout until the fifth inning. That was when he ran into Josh Donaldson, who tormented the Yankees throughout 2015. Tonight was more of the same, as the Yankees dropped to .500 with a series loss.

At the outset, it looked like this game might turn into a pitcher's duel. Both Eovaldi and Marcus Stroman looked sharp from the start, allowing just one hit apiece over the first three innings.
