TORONTO — Three more homers served up by J.A. Happ combined with tough dusk sky and rabbit ears on an overmatched umpire with suspect knowledge of the strike zone combined to end the Yankees’ longest winning streak of the season at nine with an 8-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Happ gave up three homers in five innings and has allowed 29 in just 120 innings this season after allowing 27 in 177 ²/u2083 last year.
First baseman DJ LeMahieu lost an easy foul pop in the sky that would have ended the fourth inning, then helplessly watched Danny Jansen crush the next pitch for a three-run homer.
