The New York Yankees were drilled by the Toronto Blue Jays as Tanaka doesn't have it


The New York Yankees were defeated by the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.  The game took place at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada and the final score was 8-1.  Masahiro Tanaka started for the Yankees and he didn’t pitch well.  The Yankees offense was led by Aaron Judge who had two hits and two walks. 

Tanaka pitched 5 2/3 innings giving up six hits and eight runs with seven of them being earned.  He walked three and struck out six and he lost his 12th game of the season.  Tommy Khanle pitched to one batter and struck him out, Jonathan Holder pitched an inning with two strikeouts and Giovanny Gallegos pitched an inning giving up a hit. 

Marco Estrada won his 10th game pitching seven innings and giving up three hits and a run.  He walked three and struck out four.  Mat Dermody pitched to two batters and retired them both, Tom Koehler pitched 1/3 of an inning and gave up a walk and Carlos Ramirez pitched a perfect inning. 

Judge had two hits, an RBI and drew two walks, Todd Frazier had a hit and drew a walk and Clint Frazier drew a walk.  T. Frazier and Judge each hit a double and Judge hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 0-6 with runners in scoring position and left five men on base.  Castro committed an error. 

Teoscar Hernandez had two hits and an RBI, Josh Donaldson had a hit and Jose Bautista had an RBI and drew two walks.  Kevin Pillar had a hit, Russell Martin had a hit and two RBI and Miguel Montero had a hit.  Kendrys Morales drew a walk, Ryan Goins had a hit and four RBI and Hernandez, Martin and Goins each hit a homerun.  The Blue Jays were 1-6 with runners in scoring position and left three men on base. 

In the first Judge hit a solo homerun to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.  In the bottom of the first Bautista hit an RBI ground out to tie the game at one.  In the third Hernandez hit a solo homerun to give the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead.  In the fourth Martin hit a two-run homerun to extend the lead to 4-1.  In the sixth Goins hit a grand slam to make it a 8-1 game and that would be the final score. 

The two teams will play game two of three on Saturday afternoon.
