Blue Jays drop second straight with late stumble against Yankees

The Toronto Blue Jays kept the New York Yankees bats under control until the seventh inning on Tuesday night, but the floodgates opened just long enough to result in a 7-6 loss.

Jason Grilli entered with a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the seventh and allowed the brunt of the damage, including a Chase Headley home run and Didi Gregorius RBI triple. This was a rare blip on the radar for the veteran Grilli, who has been one of the most reliable late-inning relievers in the American League since arriving in a mid-season trade from the Atlanta Braves.
