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 7-5.  Michael Pineda started for the Yankees and didn’t pitch well.  The bullpen wasn’t very good either.  The Yankees offense saw Aaron Hicks get two hits and Aaron Judge and Starlin Castro each hit a two-run homerun. 

Pineda pitched five innings giving up ten hits and five runs. He walked three and struck out one and lost his third game of the season.  Jonathan Holder pitched an inning giving up a hit and a run with a strikeout, Adam Warren pitched an inning giving up a hit and an unearned run with a strikeout and Chasen Shreve pitched an inning with two strikeouts. 

Francisco Liriano started for the Jays and he pitched five innings giving up four hits and two runs.  He walked two and struck out five and won his third game of the season.  Danny Barnes pitched an inning giving up two hits and two runs with a walk, Aaron Loup pitched to one batter and struck him out and Ryan Tepera pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up a hit and a run with a walk and two strikeouts.  Joe Smith pitched an inning giving up a hit and he struck out one and Roberto Osuna pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout and earned his 12th save of the season. 

Brett Gardner drew a walk, Gary Sanchez had a hit and Judge had a hit, two RBI and drew two walks.  Matt Holliday had a hit, an RBI and drew a walk, Castro had a hit and two RBI and Hicks had two hits.  Didi Gregorius had a hit, Chris Carter had a hit and Hicks, Carter and Holliday each hit a double and Judge and Castro each hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 0-9 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.  Sanchez and Carter each committed an error. 

Kevin Pillar had a hit, Josh Donaldson had two hits and two RBI and Jose Bautista had a hit and drew a walk.  Kendrys Morales had a hit and drew a walk, Justin Smoak had two hits and three RBI and Troy Tulowitzki had two hits.  Devon Travis had a hit and an RBI, Ezequiel Carrera had a hit and drew a walk and Luke Maile had a hit.  Tulowitzki hit a double and Donaldson hit two homeruns and Smoak hit a homerun.  The Jays were 0-7 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base.  Carrera committed an error. 

In the first Donaldson hit a solo homerun giving the Jays a 1-0 lead.  Smoak hit a two-run homerun and it was 3-0.  In the third Smoak hit a sac fly to extend the lead to 4-0.   In the fourth a wild pitch made it 5-0 Jays.  In the sixth Judge hit a two-run homerun and Castro hit a two-run homerun and it was 5-4 Jays.  In the sixth Donaldson hit a solo homerun to make it 6-4.  In the seventh Holliday hit an RBI double to make it a 6-5 game and in the bottom of the inning Travis hit a sac fly to make it 7-5 and that would be the final score. 

The two teams will play game three of four on Saturday afternoon.  The series is even at one game each.
