The Yankees (30-19) and the Blue Jays (21-27) continue their four-game series tonight at Yankee Stadium.
Game 2 followed a similar script to Game 1: Toronto jumps out to a lead. Yankees rally to tie and eventually take the lead. Jays inch closer at the end but ultimately fall short. Last night, Ryan McMahon cracked a three-run home run to tie the game at 3 in the fourth inning and Ben Rice went deep in the fifth to give the Yankees the lead. Toronto did score a run in the ninth but could not get the tying run across the plate. Will Warren was shaky but did earn the win to improve to 6-1 on the season. Dylan Cease did strike out nine, but struggled when the Yankees made contact giving up five runs in five innings to fall to 3-2 on the campaign.
Tonight, the Yankees turn to Cam Schlittler, who has quickly become one of the most reliable arms in their rotation and the current favorite to win the American League Cy Young award. The Blue Jays counter with Trey Yesavage, the right‑hander who burst onto the scene during Toronto’s playoff run last season. Both sport ERAs under 1.50 and possess incredible swing-and-miss stuff. Yesavage has struck out 21 in 19.1 innings pitched and Schlittler has sent packing 68 opposing hitters in 60 innings.
No reason to think Game 3 of this four-game series will be too different than the first two although runs early will be difficult to come by early in the game. Some players to watch:
- Aaron Judge has been too quiet of late. He is 1-11 over his last three games and 4-23 over his last six. He has not gone yard since May 10.
- Ben Rice is 3-14 over hi slast three games but two of the three hits have been home runs
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is 4-5 in his career against Schlittler
- Kazuma Okamoto is just 2-22 in his last 6 games
