Yankees Reactions: Schlittler Shoved, but the Offense was Silent against Yesavage in Loss to Jays
New York snaps a six game home winning streak against AL East teams
NEW YORK — The Yankees lost a Cam Schlittler game. They lost 2-1 to Toronto, struggling against Trey Yesavage offensively and unable keep the pesky Toronto lineup from scoring.
Pitching Spotlight
Cam Schlittler was dialed in until the seventh inning. That inning saw an infield single, a walk, and a bunt single loaded the bases with no outs. An RBI walk in a 10-pitch battle with Andres Giminez ended the night of Schlittler and gave way to Jake Bird, who only allowed a sac fly and kept the game in reach for the Yankees.
Schlittler’s stuff was still good in this outing. It was a true shame it ended on such a poor note, with him leaving the bases loaded and no outs.
He still struck out seven in the outing.
Hitting Spotlight
There were not many. The Yankees did not muster much offensively off rookie Right-hander Trey Yesavage in his six innings of work.
The Yankees did have a chance in the seventh inning of this game with two bloop hits, but a Rosaro flyout and a McMahon tapper on a 2-0 pitch keep the Yankees from scoring.
The offense did score one run in the bottom of the ninth inning, but it was too little too late.
Notable
Trent Grisham left today’s game with left knee discomfort. He will undergo imaging tomorrow on said knee. It looked like he injured it going to second base on what was a bloop double on the line.
What’s Next?
The Yankees and Blue Jays are scheduled to play a night game tomorrow for the rubber game of the four game series. It will be Carlos Rodon against a Bullpen game for the Blue Jays. If the game is played (weather), it will be at 7:05pm on YES.
