As evidenced by what happened after Wednesday’s walk-off win, it’s going to take more than one victory for the Yankees to get out of their funk. However, the way this particular game played out should hopefully provide some sort of morale boost.
After taking two separate one-run leads, the Yankees couldn’t get either of them to hold up. A seventh-inning rally by the Blue Jays potentially threatened to drag the Yankees back down into defeat, after they essentially wasted a very good Nestor Cortes outing.
Thankfully for the Yankees’ sake, they didn’t wilt when the pushback came this time.
