New York Yankees drop fifth straight game in loss to the Blue Jays

 

The New York Yankees were defeated by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night.  The game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and the final score was 6-3.  Luis Gil started for the Yankees and he struggled with his command, the bullpen did a pretty good job.  The only offense was Brett Gardner hitting a three-run homerun. 

Gil pitched 3 1/3 innings giving up a hit and three runs with seven walks and six strikeouts.  Lucas Luetge pitched 1 2/3 innings giving up a hit and two walks with a strikeout, Joely Rodriguez pitched a perfect inning with a couple of strikeouts and Clay Holmes took his third loss of the season pitching an inning and giving up two hits and an unearned run.  Holmes struck out one batter.  Chad Green pitched an inning giving up two hits and a run with two strikeouts, Aroldis Chapman pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up a hit and a run with two walks and a strikeout and Wandy Peralta pitched to one batter and got him out. 

Alek Manoah started for the Blue Jays and he pitched 5 2/3 innings giving up five hits and three runs with three walks and four strikeouts.  Trevor Richards pitched an inning with a walk and two strikeouts and earned his sixth win of the season, Adam Cimber pitched 1 1/3 innings giving up two hits and he struck out three and Jordan Romano pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout.  Romano earned his 16th save of the season. 

Gardner had a hit and three RBI, Aaron Judge had a hit and Anthony Rizzo had a hit.  Giancarlo Stanton had two hits, DJ LeMahieu had a hit and Joey Gallo had a hit and drew two walks.  Roughned Odor drew a walk, Gleyber Torres drew a walk and Gardner hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 1-5 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.  Velasquez committed an error and Gallo had an outfield assist. 

Randall Grichuk had a hit, Marcus Semien had two hits, two RBI and drew two walks and Vlad Guerrero Jr. had two hits, an RBI and drew a walk.  Bo Bichette drew a walk, Teoscar Hernandez had a hit, an RBI and drew two walks.  Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a hit and drew a walk, Jarrod Dyson drew a walk and Jake Lamb had an RBI and drew a walk.  Danny Jansen drew two walks, Gurriel Jr. hit a triple and Guerrero Jr. hit a homerun.  The Blue Jays were 3-13 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base.  Hernandez had a stolen base. 

In the fourth a wild pitch gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead.  Semien hit a two-run single and the lead was pushed to 3-0.  In the fifth Gardner hit a three-run homerun to tie the game at three.  In the seventh Hernandez hit an RBI single to give the Jays a 4-3 lead.  In the eighth Lamb hit a sac fly making it a 5-3 game and in the ninth Guerrero Jr. added an insurance run with a solo homerun making it 6-3 and that would be the final score. 

The Yankees have lost five games in a row and will try and salvage the fourth and final game of the series on Thursday night.
