The Toronto Blue Jays continued their winning streak.

The Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 6-1 on the road at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, on April 21.

With the win, Toronto improved to 85-67 and remained in sole possession of the second wild-card spot in the American League.

Kevin Gausman was the star of the show. He shut down the Yankees offense in six innings of three-hit ball with three walks and 10 strikeouts.

The 10 strikeouts pushed his season strikeout total to 232, surpassing his previous career high of 227 set in the 2021 season with the San Francisco Giants.

He was lonely on this day, as he was averaging 3.45 runs of run support entering the game. The Toronto bats didn’t do much.

Gargas scored in the third inning. Two batters later, after singles by Kevin Kiermaier and George Springer put runners on second and third, Beau Bissett’s grounder deflected off reliever Michael King for an infield single that scored a run.

It was unfortunate that starting first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went down with a knee injury just before the game. His replacement, Cavan Biggio, made a spectacular leaping catch of DJ LeMay’s fly ball in the bottom of the third inning.

Yankees pitcher King also pitched well. He pitched seven innings of five-hit ball with 13 strikeouts and one earned run, but he was unable to get any offensive support and left the mound empty-handed.

Toronto got some breathing room in the eighth. Reliever Tommy Kane, who came on in relief, didn’t miss a swinging pitch. Kiermeyer led off with a walk and advanced to third on back-to-back wild pitches.온라인카지노

With two outs, Biggio, Matt Chapman and Spencer Horwitz drew back-to-back walks to load the bases. Upper Merrifield drew another walk against reliever Ian Hamilton to add another run.

The offense continued in the ninth. Kiermeyer doubled, followed by a Bissett single to put runners on first and third, and a Horwitz single to center field to make it 6-0.

The Yankees avoided a shutout when Austin Wells hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth.

Umpire Lance Barrett’s strike zone was enough to upset players from both teams on this day. Yankees manager Aaron Boone didn’t have to wait long. He was ejected in the bottom of the second inning.
