From the outset, the Yankees’ spring training road finale on Sunday did not lack for action. The Bomber bats came out hitting. Unfortunately, the defense did not cover itself with glory early on, and up-and-comer Luis Gil struggled against the Blue Jays’ potent lineup. The good guys put up a fight, but ultimately came up short in a 7-5 loss.
The Yankees jumped on the Jays early in this one. After former Toronto MVP Josh Donaldson walked to lead off the contest, fellow newcomer Isiah Kiner-Falefa brought the rain. IKF jumped on a high fastball from Jays starter Shaun Anderson.
